Hi Jim ---

If you have your navigation functions (Top, Prev, next, end) tied to menu functions with hotkeys defined for them, this will accomplish your goal. You also might want to consider using Ctrl-PgUp (Top) PgUp (Previous) PgDn (Next) and Ctrl+PgDn (Bottom) ... a bit more intuitive and easier to put into the menu hotkey.

Your add and edit functions could also correspond to an Alt-A and Alt-E menu options or commandbuttons on the form with \
Your Save and Cancel functions could map to form commandbuttons with the Default and Cancel properties set to true, respectively, to allow Esc for Cancel and Enter for Save.


>When a user does heavy duty data entry, they do not want to be reaching for a mouse. Therefore, we are intent on giving the user a MouseLESS Form for his data entry. To do this we would like to assign Function keys F1 through F12 to do certain tasks. For example, F1 through F4 could take the place of "Top", "Prev", "Next", "End". F9 through F12 could do "Add", "Edit", "Save", "Cancel" and F5 could trigger a lookup table relevant to the text box that has the focus, and so forth.
