How do I cancel a Keystroke entry

I have a form opened in acformadd to add a new record.  If I accidentally press Function Key 5, all the previously entered data is cleared.

How can I prevent this?

Thanks in advance..

Thanks, Jim. I always forget this opportunity.

  No problem.  Something like that is easy to forget when it's not something you use very often.   I also get caught on a lot of the new features in A2007/2010 because I simply don't use them and I answer with a 2000/2003 style answer.

  Frankly, I haven't used a lot of the new features added since 2000.  Pivot charts is a good one.  Then there's stuff that I've had routines to work with for years, such as printers, so I don't bother with the printer object introducted in 2003 for example.

  And of course as simple as it seems, Access really is a complex product and it is difficult to keep up with everything it has in there.

Thanks very much to both of you.  Hope you don't mind that I shared the points.  I worked out that you could control it at the form level, but the autokeys idea is excellent.

Thanks again.
