Hot Keys and Labels - Click works but hotkey does not 2

[ahaws]

Hi guys-
I have a form with labels that the user can click on to go to another form, etc. I wanted to use labels because I wanted it to look more like text that can be clicked on
(such as a hyperlink- buttons are too bulky). When I click the label, it fires and all is good. I have assigned the label as \<Case Number. However, When I load the form, I cannot press Alt + c to have the click event fire. There is no keypress event for a label either.
I also set this label in question as tab order = 1, still hot key doesn't fire the click event.
How do I hot key a label and get that hot key to work?

Thanks in Advance!
Angie

Set the .KeyPreview property of the form to .T. and in the .KeyPress() event of the form trap the ALT+C keypress and fire the .Click() event of the label.

Apoogies - should have included in the .KeyPress() event of the form

[COLOR=blue]IF nKeycode = 46 
[tab]THISFORM.Label1.Click()
ENDI[/color]

Hello again- thanks for the help.
I am using vfp 7.0 and I do not see keypreview as a property of my form. Help?

Thanks

Click on the 'Other' tag in the properties sheet - 9th item down.

Chris-
Had problems with the "alt + c" but just added "c" - nkeycode = 99 in and that worked.
Thanks so much
