Is this a situation where you have a Cancel button on the form and you don't want any validation to run in that case? If so and you've set the Cancel button's Cancel property to .T. then clicking the button is the same as hitting Escape, which makes LASTKEY() = 27. So, you can run your code IF LASTKEY <> 27.
