I see what you're saying. If the user pressed escape to exit the form, then on the _next_ form he opens he will have this problem? That makes more sense. I thought you meant he would have problems on the _same_ form, which didn't make sense since pressing escape closes the form.

Thanks for clarifying,

Michelle


>It shure does ; if the user pressed the escape key 10 minutes ago and in the mean time he only used his mouse to do whatever you want (something that maybe has nothing to do anymore, with the escape key pressed !!!), the LASTKEY() will still return 27 !!!
