Keypress detection - Microsoft Access / VBA

Gord

How does one detect (in code) when the Delete key has been pressed. The
KeyPress event doesn't respond to this keystroke.

Thanks,

Gord

Trap for a Keycode value of vbKeyDelete in the KeyUp event of a
particular control or the form itself depending on what you're up to.

You will have to set the form's key preview property to yes to trap
it at form level.

Thanks rkc. I think I can work with that.
