Scott,

As you have found out, placing code in the Cancel button itself is not the appropriate place. Place your code in the Cancel method of the form and then it will get executed either when pressing the Cancel button (if you have used the cmdCancelMaint button from kcustctl) or exiting the form from the Close (X) button, pressing Escape etc. The QueryUnload method is doing the AskToSave method and calling the SaveRecord or Cancel of the form based on the response.

I have a command button set as the Cancel button that has code in it that MUST run if they exit the form without taking some other action.
