You can't. If you're opening a query and not a form, you cannot trap
for any events. You can close any window inside Access by using CTRL-
F4 while the object has focus.

Is it possible if we create form based on query,

then can we close with esc keypress to close form ??

.

Open the form in design view and set the KeyPreview property of the form to
True.

Then add this code to the form's code module:

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
'NOTE: this is a really weird use of ESC!!!
' Some users may find this confusing!!!

Const ESC_KEY As Integer = 27

If KeyAscii = ESC_KEY Then
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
End If

End Sub
