I am trying to test if the KeyDown event will only work in Access 97 or if it works in all version of Access.

Would you open the attached file and test if the forms KeyDown event I have coded will display a message box stating which F key you have pressed on your keyboard?

Please post back if the KeyDown event worked for you and also mention which version of Access you are using.

Thanks in advance for your help! :D

Why would it work in 97 but not in 2k ?

I would assume that he didn't have a way to test the code in Access 2000 and 2002 .....

There are features that are version specific and have not been carried over to newer versions.
...... such as the formatting of a MsgBox with VBA was not carried over.
It can be still performed with a macro or by tricking Access in thinking it is a converted macro by using the Eval() function.

I am only using Access 97. I am using the KeyDown events in quite a few databases and I want to ensure the KeyDown events that I have coded in my sample will work in Access 2000 and Access XP.

I offered the KeyDown event to a previous poster who said it did not work in their Access 2000 db. Obviously I was concerned since my Access applications will eventually be converted to newer versions of Access.

Thanks!
 
Well I'm running Access XP with a default file format of 2K on Win 2000

I ran your database both in 97 file format and then converted to A2K and it worked fine on both occasions.
