Re: Can we use the Delete key in a display file?

problem with mapping the delete key is that it is already used to delete
the caret character of an entry field. Which is how it works in all PC
windows. Only in a control like a listbox do you see the delete key being
programmed to delete the item located at the caret. So how to tell the
user that using the delete key when the caret is in an entry field will
result in the entire record being deleted?

in client access you can map the delete key to a command key.

Again, the simplest question baffles me. I would like to use the
keyboard's Delete key to signal that a record is to be deleted.

How does one do that?
