>>Thanks, but sorry to answer that even if I SetFocus to a control in my form... No way... The only possible solution for the moment is to click inside the window and then it traps my Keypress event (ESC key) !! Strange !!

My Form is a "slide show" form and from a command button I Have this code :

_SCREEN.Visible = .F.
ThisForm.lft = ThisForm.Left
ThisForm.tp = ThisForm.Top
ThisForm.Hide()
ThisForm.AutoCenter = .F.
ThisForm.Caption = ""
ThisForm.Left = 0
ThisForm.Top = 0
ThisForm.cmdPref.Visible = .F.
ThisForm.Command1.Visible = .F.
ThisForm.cmdAuto.Visible = .F.
ThisForm.Text13.Visible = .T.
ThisForm.Vcr3.Visible = .F.
ThisForm.BackColor = RGB(0,0,0)
thisform.Width = sysmetric(1)
thisform.Height = sysmetric(2)+ 60
ThisForm.Resize()
ThisForm.AlwaysOnTop = .T.
ThisForm.Show()
ThisForm.Text13.SetFocus

After this command the screen use a timer to skip the base and display pictures every 5 seconds...
In the KeyPress Method of my Form I trap ESC key to stop running the slide show ---> impossible ?
I have to click first with the mouse on screen and then only I can use the ESC key...

Thanks for all your help !
