beep from keyPress

Howdy:

I've got a small - almost "cosmetic" problem. I have a listBox on a userForm and I'm checking for a keystroke combination to see if the user wants to edit related data. That's working fine. However, when I return to the userForm, it beeps at me. Impertinent! I think it's because Excel doesn't know what to do with the keyStroke that I used - Alt U. I've attached code. I think that I just have to set the keycode to something that will be ignored by Excel.

Any ideas?

Bob

I'm not 100% sure this will work in your case, but try setting the KeyAscii value to 0 before you call your subroutine. Something like:

No guarantees it works, but googling for "Excel KeyPress beeping" produces a bunch of forums with similar queries:

Hope this helps.
