keypress event - Microsoft Access / VBA

Chuck

Have an integer field on a form. Have implemented a keypress event such
that '+' will add 1 to the field. In debug mode, this is fine, the value of
the field is increased by 1 ... until the procedure is ended ... and then
the field contains a '+'. KeyPreview has been set to True. What is
missing??

Piet,

Many thanks. It works great. Now I'll have to study it at length to try
and understand why the simple-minded approach doesn't work. Upon a '+'
keypress, I was trying to set ctl = ctl +1. As I mentioned before, when
single-stepping through it worked fine. The ctl became ctl+1. But when the
procedure terminated, The ctl became a '+'.
