Nagya,
>>The reason I asked, I am working on a POS system and have been trying to keep all controls easily accessible via the keyboard. Deletion of records in a grid has been quite a problem. I have a solution, but it is messy and I was looking for a better idea.

No data navigation controls in my interface, only New, Edit, Save, Cancel, Done, Print. I am using the keypress event presently to allow the user to navigate the form quickly. It just seems that once focus hits the grid, the rules change. I have thought of a Delete button, but that is a bit out of context in this case and possibly confusing to the user. A keyboard shortcut seemed easier to me.
