I'm using a laptop right now and the print screen key is FN+ Insert.... FN isn't mappable.
Works fine on an external keyboard, so I guess I'll try one of the other recommendations.
Thanks alot for the time guys.

Try the key capture code in my Event Driven topic.
So far as I know it works for all keys including the special ones.
It also points out that those keys have a two part code...
