That still does not address the problem. What is needed is a way to hook the keyboard input from all running programs and fire an event in the VFP app if a specific keyboard sequence is entered. This probably requires an API-level solution, as there seems to be no native features in VFP to provide this capability. EventHandler() is only useful if a COM object is available (somewhere out there) to hook keyboard input and fire an event upon the occurrence of a specific keyboard sequence. This keyboard sequence, which I want to control, would be programmatically specified as a property of the COM object.

I personally would prefer to solve this with API calls only so that I don't have to deal with 3rd-party COM objects when distributing the application.
