>>I've Tried hundreds of times to make works some function keys from the keypress event in a form. For example if i use F10 it goes to the first menu option and I can't take any action with this key.

Just yesterday I have encountered an app (amateur's attempt by a traitor coder who became an accountant), done in VDbase, where he used F10 as a hotkey for a command button (meaning Save or ExitForm or something like that). The app is nonsense, but why did VDbase allow him to use F10. Knowing the guy, I doubt he used much of Old Indian Tricks - could it be that VDb is not conforming with The Guidelines regarding F10?
