>>>Nope, LastKey() value is still 27. Strange. If I use a regular WAIT WINDOW and click the mouse, then the value will change. I'm trying to make sure that at this point in code that the LastKey() value is not 27. I really don't care what it is as long as it's not 27 and not anything that causes an action to fire.
