This particular constant, doesn't work on my laptop, maybe a desktop?

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyPrint Then MsgBox "Yes" Else MsgBox "No"
End Sub

You must set the "KeyPreview" property of the form (in the Events tab), to yes.

If vbKeyPrint doesn't work, try vbKeyShift, just to give you an idea of the potential.

Setting the keycode to 0, disables the key press action, so the idea is something like...

If KeyCode = vbKeyPrint Then KeyCode = 0

Hope this offers some direction.

Good Luck either way!
