John and Others,

Here's an easier way to do this.

1) Set the Cancel property of the Cancel button to .T.
2) At the beginning of every Valid event put this code;

IF LASTKEY() = 27
   RETURN .T.
ENDIF

The cancel property makes clicking the cancel button the same as pressing Escape. This has the added feature of making pressing Escape the same as clikcing the cancle button (that is the cancel button's click evnet will fire when pressing esacpe).
