Textbox shortcut keys

I have several textbox fields on a form that all suddenly no longer repond to Ctrl + <key> events. This includes Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, etc... However they now responde to Ctrl + Shift+ <key>. I've been all over the properties and the code, and I don't see anything that seems to indicate the behavior. Can anybody point me in a likely direction?

Thanks

Several possibilities:
- Check if you have assigned the Ctrl+C shortcut key to any of your menu items.
- Ensure that the textboxes' ShortcutsEnabled property is set to True
- If you use your own message loop or MFC, you must display your form with ShowDialog().

Well, it only happens on the main form of the application. All sub forms and dialog boxes behave normally.
