Hi Steven,

One way would be to have the master string held in a (form or oApp) property plus another property to hold the test keystrokes. In the KeyPress event build the test keystrokes string and compare to the same number of characters held in the master string. As long as a match is made, continue to build the test string ( might need a NODEFAULT also so the keystroke is not processed normally unless you want it to be ). If a match fails reset the test string. When the test string finally matches the master string, execute whatever form or command you like. There are probably other ways but you couold probably work this way out.
