Disable Character enter via Alt+Key_Code

[boles]

I have a windows application that I am working on that has a failure I am trying to troubleshoot. The problem is that users are entering French characters into the application and this is causing a problem in the backend. The users are entering chars such as 'è' by pressing Alt+0232.

My problem is that I cannot modify the application code and must handle this at the OS level. Anyone know how to possibly re-map ALT+0232 to another char such as an ordinary 'e' ???


Note:
We could modify the code but we dont want to. Main reason being that this would have impacts on the other 50+ applications that run in the system and we cannot regression test all of it in the current time frame.

I believe yuo can change those key codes. Can you change them to impossibly long keystrokes?

Are you sure the users are using alt+key and not just pasting from MS word?

swap the 2 and the 3 keys on the kb

they do not have access to word or any other application.

Copy/Paste is disabled already.

Anyone got any idea ?

You've got an app where the users use nothing but that app on the computer and can't use anything else?? are they maliciously entering the french letters?

Well there are a collection of applications (some cots and some custom) but for the sake of the question just assume there is one. We override the shell so only one app runs at a time.....

Anyone know how to edit CodePages ? as in the ones that deal with system charsets ?
