>>Becky,
>>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.

Becky,
Sorry but is there a question here or lastkey() worked ? I cannot follow the quoting well. Pls snip or separate with "hr" tag.
