I have a form that I wish the user to close by pressing F12. I've set Key Preview to Yes and in the on Key Down event proceedure I've used a select case statement against vbKeyF12 set to Docmd.Quit. However I keep getting the MS default for F12 of a Save As dialog box appearing which them stops the form from closing. Does anyone have a suggestion how to disable to MS default functions but still enable the use of the F Keys. I know that you can set the keycode to 0 but that stops any further use of that key.

Thanks for the advice re the autokeys macro but I forgot to mention that I want to use other F keys on the same form to open or close other forms. I very rarly use macros and when I tried your suggestion I can only get it to carry out one F key action. Is there no way of just disabling the microsoft default function to those keys so that they only perform the action that I want.
