Form's Keypress Cannot Reference Thisform.object.method

I am using a form´s Keypress method to monitor the use of function keys which in place must activate the Click method of some buttons, depending on the key pressed by the user. To achieve this I wrote the following case statement:

 
LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
do case
case nKeyCode=keyF2
thisform.cmdToday.click
case nKeyCode=keyF5
thisform.cmdAdd.click
case nKeyCode=keyF6
thisform.cmdEdit.click
case nKeyCode=keyF7
thisform.cmdDelete.click
endcase


NOTE: keyF1 through keyF10 are predefined constants with the corresponding codes for the function keys.

During runtime the form (with the buttons) is loaded, but when I press one of the designated Keys the following
error message appears:

THISFORM can only be used within a method

What am I missing and how can I designate actions to keys pressed within an active form ?
Thanks in Advanced or Hope This Helps
