Re: Disabling Keypresses in Forms 4.5

Unfortunately there is no feature in Forms which will return to you the id of the function key pressed. About the only thing you can do is place a Key-Others trigger in the form with a standard message. If you do this, be sure you also have a key-exit or some other method of leaving the form.
