Only the last value is saved, you could save them sequentially as chr() values in a character field, etc. At the end of the routine, this code sends the keystroke to the keyboard and turns of the ON KEY routine. You can use 'thisform' again because it is being processed by the control.

I'm pretty sure I understand what you are doing. I'll try it in my situation and see if it helps. Thanks, Mike.
