>>I thought I had it solved or so it once was but is back. I have code in a form that says SET FUNCTION F1 to '28'. The user is instructed to press F1 to save all changes, but if there is incorrect data (which in the keypress event there is code to validate user input), the form stays open and the users must correct their data. However in the case of a needed correction, hitting the F1 key puts a "2" into the current textbox, the 2 being the "2" of 28. A way to eliminate this?

you are probably right, but this is a carry over from DOS and the users here will go ballistic if I change the key they use most. Any suggestions?
