I am using the Outlook View Control to create a custom form and am
trying to figure out a way to trap for certain key press events within
the control (like pressing the delete key) but have yet to figure out
a good way to trap these events. Has anyone else ran into this problem
and found a workaround for it?

Thanks ahead of time.

Outlook custom forms don't work like VB user forms, so you won't be able to
do the kind of keypress event handling you might be used to.
