Hi Fred.

>> I am trying to intercept some key strokes in a simple text box. In VB I can retrun any keystroke in the keypress event. In Foxpro, it seems to put the char in the textbox.value no matter what I do. What am I missing? <<

What you are missing is NODEFAULT.

So, all you need is code like this in the KeyPress:

IF INLIST( nKeyCode, < whatever keys you want to intercept > )
*** Code to do whatever you want to do with the keystrokes here
NODEFAULT
ENDIF
