Hi Cetin:

I placed the following code into the keypress event of the text box:

LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
thisform.txtInKeyValue.value = nKeyCode
IF nKeyCode = 43  && user pressed the "+"
	ACTIVATE WINDOW calculator 
	thisform.txtCalcValue.Value = _calcvalue
ENDIF

This doesn't work since the calculator window is not modal and I can't seem to figure out how to make it so.

Thanks,

Yossi
