ESC key to close form not working

[Emilio]

Hi,
I am a newbie with a simple problem.
I used to be able to close forms pressing ESC key.
Now for some reasonm one of my most used forms doesn't do
it anymore.
Recently I made changes to the query in one of its
subforms, nothing major.
Can someone remind me how to get a form to close with ESC
key. (I thought it had something to do with Popup or
Modal properties but can't make it work)

Thanks for any help,
DEmilio

Hi,


A button has a property "Cancel", setting it to True means "If someone use
the Esc key, while for form owns the keyboard, generates the onClick event
for that button". The property "Default" does the same about the Enter key.

So, make a button that will close the form, set its property Cancel to True
(or Yes, if from the form designer).
