Hello,

Okay, try it with cleaner 'coding' lol... I did apologise in a later message...

In the _activeform.keypress() Event you would have the code:

PRE
IF TYPE("THISFORM.ActiveControl") == "O" AND UPPER(THISFORM.ActiveControl.BaseClass) <> "GRID"
IF INLIST(LAST(), leftarrow, rightarrow... leftclick...)
chucks_keypressevent()
ENDIF
ENDIF
/PRE

The "O" means we are on an object, just a habit I got in of insuring everything works...

HTH
