Raphael,

That works welll enough, almost. In place of the "DO cleanUp.." statement, I am putting a MESSAGEBOX() then the next line just releases the form. However, just before my MESSAGEBOX() comes up, I get the VFP box ****INTERRUPTED****, Ignore, Cancel, and the program code is scrolled across my form. This is a result of SETting ESCape on. How do I prevent this message from happening?
