Glad to see you found a solution. Based on what I've read, it seems like you're trying to close the form by pressing Escape. If that's the case, check the CANCEL property of buttons. If set to .T., that button will be pressed when the user presses Escape.

To get back to that ON KEY LABEL thing, what I do when I need such a thing is that I put "ON KEY LABEL cKeyName DO _VFP.ActiveForm.cMethod" in the Activate event of the form, and I put "ON KEY LABEL cKeyName" in the Deactivate event, so this way I'm sure that the ON KEY LABEL is "valid" only in my form.
