Geoff,

I wouldn't use set escape or on key label on a form. Normally, you have a button on the form that is for "close" or "cancel" that calls the necessary methods to close the form. If you look at the properties on a command button, you will see a property called "cancel". If you mark that as true rather than the default of false, that button action takes palce when they hit escape. There is also a "default" property that can be set if you wan one button to be used if they hit enter.

Hope this helps,
Bill
