Rich,
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps there is something else someone can suggest.

Hotkeys are scoped to the thread that creates (registers) them. So even if you use the WinAPI to register some type of key combination, it won't transcend different applications.

You might be able to write a hook procedure and use SetWindowsHookEx to hook into the keyboard message queue and read it for your hotkey combination, but you aren't going to be able to do this with VFP (probably C++) and this goes far beyond my expertise.
