Thanks ONCE AGAIN Sergey, :o)

I decided to check for the activecontrol in the form's keypress and take whatever action (or none) as required.

>>I have a grid on a formclass and some other shapes and controls. The form initiates an action everytime the user presses a key based on the form's keypress event. I have a separate textbox I want to add to the form class though and it is the only control on the form that when the user enters a value, I do not want the form keypress to occur. Is there anyway to prevent the form's keypress event from ocurring on one control of the form only?
