You don't need to call keypress from valid - NEVER DO THIS . If you do this, you screw up the sequence of events. KeyPress is an EVENT (not method) and it called automatically while you're typing something on keyboard.
Put in keypress
wait window 'nKeyCode '+transform(nKeyCode)+chr(13)+;
'nShiftAltCtrl'+transform(nShiftAltCtrl)

so you will see the actual codes.
