Thanks Barbara,

I did use
ON KEY LABEL F12
to turn it off (I didn't make that clear)

I have tested the Keypress event on a clean form and it interprets the function keys just fine.

I don't think anyone can help me on this one now, since there is obviously something happening elsewhere on my form that is causing a problem.

I have a timer active running a FancyTooltips object and I will start looking there first.

Thanks again
