I tried this too. Things work fine if I use a single key (I had success with S and A). Once I try to add Ctrl to the mix (with the nShiftAltCtrl parameter) it quits working (i.e. nothing happens when I press Ctrl+S). I realize that the Alt key has to be avoided, but why won't the combination of Ctrl+S work?

I have tried both your code (in bold) and:

If nShiftAltCtrl=2 AND nKeyCode = 19

"Grrrrrr" said the frustrated programmer wannabe to the app!!!!
