I've tried a few things with "on escape do something", but having difficult time writing solid code to work. As Always, thanks much for sharing your VFP knowledge. Indeed tremendously helpful!

John,
Just before SQL "set escape on" and it would cause an interrupt on long SQL. Immediately set escape off. Here is a quirky way :

set escape on
keyboard "i"   && Ignore if interrupted
select * from mytable where lComplexExpr
set escape off
clear typeahead
? "Continuing"
