About the F2 :

Probably 'thisform' can only be used if you are executing method of a form. Then 'thisform' refers to the form of which the code is being executed.

You could try : ON KEY LABEL F2 MyForm.FieldWhatEver.SetFocus

Or better yet, execute a function, or a method from the form, that first checks if MyForm is active or not, because otherwise the SetFocus method will give an error.

You could also set the KeyPreview property of the form to TRUE, and check if F2 is pressed in the KeyPress event.

About the combo's, I have no idea.
