Jan,
I don't mean to chime in late on this, but I've got a form for a client that I have remapped the page down and page up to simulate F7 & F8. I've also given them a way to set the number of rows that it pages, i.e. 1, 5, 10, 50. Just another idea to consider.

The form was originally set up using navigation buttons. After observing the operators try to do the physical gynmastics to utilize the form we decided to give them a 2 hand approach instead of relying on the mouse.

Bernie Lis ----- Original Message ----- From: jan johansen To: RBASE-L Mailing List Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 12:24 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Keymaps Razzak, This came about when a user was using F7(previous) and F8(next) and shifted their fingers to F8(next) and F9(delete) and since I have PROPERTY RBASE_FORM DONTSHOWDELETEDIALOG "TRUE" in the after start eep the user was happily deleting rows without looking at the screen. The user really needs to use F7 and F8 so I really need to move things away from F6 and F9 to be save. I know that F2 is INSERT and F9 is DELETE but what what are the other defaults?

Actually, that will reset everything back to normal. However, if you need to disable the [F9] key, you will have to assign [F9] to something else, such as [F6]. Here's how: Add the following code at the beginning of your application start file or in RBASE.DAT file: SET KEYMAP [F9] = [F6] RETURN You may reset everything back to normal using the following code: SET KEYMAP [F9] OFF RETURN Both commands can also be used as "On Before Start EEP" & "On Close EEP" when using a form based menu driven application. And, that's all there is to it! Have fun. Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
