Erick and Irv, it would seem here, if i understand this correctly, that all keypresses will cause windows to xfer control to my routine. This seems like it would be awfully ineficient. would it not be better to somehow give windows a table of keys i'm interested in as well as a switch to turn this off (like filling in a screen while adding a customer, at which point most of those buttons should be disabled) and back on as needed. My doc says that onKeyPress requires 2 arguments 1) a keycode for the key of interest and 2) a shift var.... is this format defunct now? Or do I have an older version of the doc (I'm looking on page 87 of 153 pages. It's also certainly possible i'm misreading the doc. Do programmers put their buttons in a separate window from the form being filled in? Right now all my stuff is in the same window. However even if the buttons are in a separate window one might want to enable the 'esc' key to exit the form and go back to the button window. ...... george ..george
