Bob,

The FORM has a KeyPreview property which, when true, causes the FORM's KeyPress event to fire.

That ought to be helpful here.

Good luck,

>I have a grid and I want to insert a new record when the user presses a certain key (like ^INS) with *any* part of the grid selected. I know how to use the KeyPress event in the text object of a column but I don't want to force the user to have that particular text item selected. I don't see a more global "KeyPress" event available. How can I do this?
