Thank you for this advice. However, I solved the problem with the
keypress event, using both parameters
Here is an example:
If nKeyCode = 4 and nShiftAltCtrl = 2 && ctrl-D remove a project
Do form frmprojects with 'DEL',thisform.nProjId
EndIf
Using the second parameter avoids all the interference from the OS, at
least in VFP 9 and Windows 7. It also works well in Windows XP
BTW, I can't change the shortcut as you suggest. My client is adamant
that the VFP version should use the same function key combinations as
the DOS version, because his employees are so used to operating with the
function keys in that way. that any change would confuse them. And he
pays my bills so I don't argue too much :-)

Subject: keypress event and on key labels
I haven't used on key labels since the days of old FoxDOS.
However, I am migrating an old FD app to VFP9 and the prgs include a
zillion on key labels operating on browse windows.
I easily replaced all browse windows with grids and the on key label
calls with calls to the keypress events of the corresponding text boxes.
However, there is one particular on key label that is driving me nuts:
on key label ctrl+D do form frmDelete
In the keypress event of the textbox of the corresponding column of
the grid I wrote:
lparameters nKeyCode,nShiftAltCtrl
if nKeyCode = 4 && ctrl+D
do form frmDelete
endif
But to my surprise, the same number (4) is assigned to the right
arrow key, so when the user navigates the grid with the right arrow,
the frmDelete form pops up, as if he had pressed the Ctrl+D key
combination
How can I solve this?
The numbers can be seen in help for the inkey() function
BTW, I never used the second parameter, nShiftAltCtrl of the keypress
event. And can't figure out how to use it.

Hello Rafael.
No way around the obstacle.
When you decide to assign some keys to predefined functions,
you must assert these are not conflicting with OS or underlyng apps.
CTRL+D is known by many interrupting vectors.
Changing that shortcut is the best way.
