Hi Mike,

You're welcome. Let us know how it works for you.

>>The following code will allow you to check for those buttons. However, the buttons don't trigger any VFP event where you can put this code. Seem like a timer is your only option.

DECLARE SHORT GetKeyState IN WIN32API INTEGER
>>#DEFINE VK_XBUTTON1 5
>>#DEFINE VK_XBUTTON2 6
>>IF GetKeyState( VK_XBUTTON1 ) < 0
>>  DEBUGOUT "X1", PROGRAM(), TIME()
>>ENDIF
>>IF GetKeyState( VK_XBUTTON2 ) < 0
>>  DEBUGOUT "X2", PROGRAM(), TIME()
>>ENDIF

>>>I'm using VFP8SP1 in Windows2000Pro. I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse that has the standard two buttons and a mouse wheel. In addition, there are two extra buttons on either side of the mouse. In Internet Explorer, they default to "Back" and "Forward" navigation.

>>>I was wondering if anyone knows how I can detect clicks for these two extra buttons in a VFP form. Something to do with the API perhaps?
