Blocking automatic entry in a form field

[sholtzin]

Is there a way to block someone from making an automatic entry in a form field by copying the previous entry's record?
I have a user who consistently does this by using the control/Quote combo, even when the result is not what it should be.
I would like to force the entry to be manual, with no copy over option.
Thank you

in the form property, turn ON : keypreview=true
if you cannot find the property ,set it in form load:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.KeyPreview = True
End Sub

then put this code in the form keydown event. It will trap the ditto key and turn if 'off'.

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Dim bCtrlDown As Boolean

bCtrlDown = (Shift And acCtrlMask) > 0
If KeyCode = 222 And bCtrlDown Then       
  KeyCode = 0
End If
End Sub
