[AccessD] Key Preview Problem

Disabled people DO use alt keys, folks that may have a tremor that
interferes with mousing or who may not have full use of their hands/arms.

I share your mouseophobia and my users didn't request it either.  I'm not
even sure they'll even use the Alt keys and have wondered several times why
I was doing this but I do it anyway.

Because of the subforms, I don't think Lambert's suggestion will work
though.  I think I'd still have to put code in each subform that gets the
focus but I'll give it a try just to be complete.

BTW, I was wrong about putting the KeyDown code in the Form_KeyDown event
handler.  It works fine.  I'd forgotten that I had more than one subform on
the tabbed page and was coding the wrong subform...oh well.

In any event, I've had a great time exploring this with everyone and have
learned a lot.  Thanks to all.
