Thanks for your replies to my previous entry under this heading.  Did finally
succeed in creating a message filter routine with the SetWindowsHook() call.
The routine that I have looks for WM_CHAR messages (after calling
TranslateMessage()) to filter out illegal user keystrokes based on the type
of data field.  One problem though, for keystrokes like "TAB" that should
allow me to move from one dialog field to the next, I don't do any filtering
(message filter just returns a zero).
  Even so, the "TAB" appears to be filtered - generates a beep from my
keyboard (and I ain't the one generating it).  So, anyone know where
in the &*#(@ this beep is coming from and why my "TAB" key disappears
into oblivion?  Thanks...   again.
