ALSO:
Be certain your form's KeyPreview property is set to .F., otherwise the form will receive the keystroke before the control, and you might not get the behavior you're looking for.

>>We have a class that allows the user to begin typing a value(inventory item value) and as they type it fills in the object similar to Quicken's quickfill. We have been using the '-' and '+' keys to allow backward and forward navigation once the user gets close to the desired item. In a sister company some items were added which unfortunately included '-' as part of the code. Of course when the user tries to enter this keystroke they are positioned on the item previous to the last item. We were going to set up the down arrow as a substitute for this behavior. However, instead of going back one item the user is sent to the previous object.
