>Thanks for the info!! I tried the first suggestion but for some reason it seems to ignore function keys ?!?!? I have other keys in the keypress event (Page UP and DOWN) that work. My nKeyCOde value for F12 is 134. Also do you know how I can determine if the current object is a date field? Do I still use TYPE? As for the second suggestion, unfortunately the app was created without a subclass library. All the date fields are off the base class. Is there some way to implement the second suggestion at this point??

Kevin, I'm using almost all of the Function keys plus shifted function keys with the keypress event. Let me know if you want to know more.
