About the Ctrl+S issue.
I think it is better to call a UDF instead of calling to the form directly.
If no form is active you will get a error using this.
For example

On Key Label Ctrl+S Do SaveMyForm

Function SaveMyForm()
If 'check for if the form is a good form'
  _Screen.ActiveForm.Save()
EndIf
EndFunc

I thought you wouldn't call it from the menu itself you told in one of your earlier threads. But there you can do exactly the same.

Hope this helps you,
