Keyboard hook for alpha-numeric key

When I try to hook a non letter key like left arrow (37) all is OK.

If (Hookstruct.vkCode = 37) Or (Hookstruct.vkCode = 83) And
CBool(Hookstruct.flags) Then

But, for example, the hook for the letter "s" key (83) does not work.

Mysteriously, the "s" starts hooking properly after I set and continue
through a break point. I can even then remove the breakpoint and the "s"
continues to hook OK as long as I have the debug session going.

Got any ideas as to what I need to do to get the keyboard hook to work
consistently for alpha-numeric keys?

Thanks!

Bob
