>We use a number of hotkeys throughout our system. In the form Activate, there will be a statment like ON KEY LABEL ALT+C _SCREEN.activeform.cmd_cancel.Click(). Then in the Deactivate we remove the OKL setting so that there's no bleedover into other forms. HTH

How about setting the Cancel buttons caption to: "\<Cancel"? Then, Wndows takes care fot he hotkey, and also underlines the "C", giving the user a clue that Alt+C fires that button.
