>My users are in the habit (from the old days) of using FoxPro’s built in Ctrl-W command to save changes that they make after editing a record on a form. Although it works, it has a side effect of moving the record pointer to the end of the file, which in my case is undesirable so I would like to block Ctrl-W.

I've just realized that my keypress event also traps for Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End to position me at the first or last record in the file. Unfortunately, Ctrl-W and Ctrl-End have the same key code (23).

My problem should no longer say thet keypress can't see a Ctrl-W. It looks like the only answer might be to educate users to no longer use Ctrl-W as a "save" key.
