Thanks for the reply, unfortunately, we're not using VfP for this App (hence posting in this forum, rather than VFP).
The development package offers little in the way of trapping key/mouse events - it doesn't allow for use of ActiveX etc - it is a very specialised, highly proprietary package for use with specific hardware. Unfortunately, the client has specified we use this particular package.
(Many of the standard shortcuts are trapped by WINNT & not passed to the application, so I don't think this would have the required effect in any event.)
