Keypress detection

[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.
