What do you think? can't you put an exit button on the form to release it? Then, if you used doformretval, if the return value doesn't meet the required parameter, the user gets kicked out. BTW, ON KEY LABEL is not a property of anything. It is enabled until to clear it. If you issue ON KEY LABEL Alt+X CANCEL in you app setup procedure, you'll always be able to exit using that, unless you overwrite it or clear it. -- Matt McDonnell
