Mark,

I tried this, but there is a problem:
On my form I have commandbutton, which runs the long process. It invokes program (prg) execution.
I tried on escape thisform.StopProcess
and in this method just set some variable to true to indicate the stop of my process. However, it gives me an error: 'Thisform could be called only if form methods...'.

So, I can not use this technique...

I tried inkey(). It works, but unfortunatelly it shows the Enter sign and, perhaps, wait users input, which is not good either...

What else could you suggest?

TIA
