Re: Simple KeyPress Help

Here is one way of doing it.

First, set form => keypreview => true

this means that the form handles the keypress before other objects.
Then use

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

If you want control over which control gets what key.

With Me.ActiveControl
If .Name = "Command1" Then
Select Case KeyCode

.
