[AccessD] Key Preview Problem

About 2 years ago I had an experience where I instantly developed the 
"mouseophobia" disease.  I developed an app for around 20 users.  On the 3rd 
day of 5...I was directed to the last machine to load said app.  When I got 
there I was introduced to the user...and the JAWS system.  The last user was 
visually impaired and could not use the mouse.  For the next 48 hours I 
re-engineered all of the functionality to not need a mouse.  It was 
definitely an educational experience, and is always just under the surface 
as I take on new projects.
