Hilmar, I should have checked earlier when you started talking about SET ESCAPE. I have SET ESCAPE OFF at the beginning of my main program, and I've checked all the other code for a place where it might have been set ON, but there are none. Yes, I am able to carry out default actions as you suggest including closing BROWses and previews. And the forms have a Cancel button with the Cancel property set to .T. In the case of a no-data-entry form there is one button that has both Cancel and Default set to .T.

I'll have to spend more time in the debugger; other than LASTKEY(), what should I be watching for?

Thanks much,
