O.K., how should I do that? Can I put the code in menu form that activates

>I'm not sure how ESC works there. But I don't think code is executing slow enough to let you press ESC in between so I assume esc is causing to lose focus also. If it's the case surround the lostfocus code with "if lastkey()=27" and/or keep a commandbutton with cancel=.t. to catch esc. I think it's more convenient than using ON ESC.
