Set form.keypreview to .T.
in the form keypress event, watch for the keys you want to ignore: something like
do case
case nkeycode = 127 and this.activecontrol.value = space(0) &&backspace
nodefault
case nkeycode = 19 and this.activecontrol.value = space(0) &&leftarrow
nodefault
case nkeycode = 4 and this.activecontrol.value = space(0) &&rightarrow
nodefault
case inlist(nkeycode, 5,4) &&up and down arrows
nodefault
end case

This is an awkward solution, but yours is an awkward problem. Hope this gives you some ideas.
