Hi Tim,

I think you will find the problem is the edit menu. The key control for the edit:paste option is CTRL+V which is effectively defined as an ON KEY LABEL, the unfortunate problem with these is that they fire outside the standard event model, meaning the keypress event of the control is completely ignored.

Try turning off the system menu ( or just the edit menu ) and try the test again ( for nKeyCode = 22 and nShiftAltCtrl = 2 I think? ).

There is no easy solution I think. Function keys can be a pain.

You could try overriding CTRL+V in the GotFocus of the control and resetting in the LostFocus:
ON KEY LABEL CTRL+V _Screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.KeyPress(22,2)

I know this breaks about 100 rules on bad design, but it will work :)

Hope some of this helps.
