Using function keys in Access

I am a regular user of function keys within several of my apps. For some reason I'm not able to figure out, one of my newly reworked apps is unresponsive to the use of the function keys. I put a break-point at the first executable statement in the form's "form_KeyDown" event but it never fires when I press a function key. I thought perhaps I'd corrupted the DB but a new DB with everything copied over from the failing DB did the same thing.
Thoughts please?

Not much info. Your posts are usually not so nebulous.
KP event for a form? Just a control and not the form? The key preview property for the form isn't set properly?
Or his isn't for a form at all? Or this is for every form/report in the whole db?
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.

bingo!the key preview property for the form isn't set properly?
(PS) I guess I wasn't to vague since you "nailed it" in short order.
Thank You, Bill

With what we were given, I can only put it down to luck
