Need to disable the Delete a Record shortcut, CTRL -

[Modify_inc]

I would like to disable the shortcut, CTRL - which allows a user to delete a record. A user accidentally deleted a record while typing in an email address that had an underscore in the email address. While trying to type it she must have hit the CTRL key instead of the Shift key follow by the -. She noticed the delete confirmation, but not thinking, pressed enter and thus confirmed the deletion of the record.

Other than telling her to pay more attention, how can I disable the shortcut in Access 2013?

I tried using the Application.OnKey "^-", "" but I continue getting the error method or data member can not be found

Thanks
Mike

There are many ways to delete records. You should rather set the form's data allow deletions property to false.
