you should really only have one READ EVENTS (in your main program and nowhere else) and one CLEAR EVENTS in your application. You shouldn't have to use CLEAR EVENTS to close a form.
I do not have anything else but the form needing event handling. If I do not clear events in the form, then the program just sits there waiting for events. (In my app, I have a menu and the clear events is in there on the Exit selection.)
It sounds like you want your exit button to act like a cancel button.
Well, no. I want some buttons to not trigger validation. Exit is but one of them. Cancel (if the documentation is correct) only allows for one such button.
I also want a Reset button which will exit the adding/editing of a row but still have the form active. (Most of my forms do not call up rows on entry. One has to specify form actions (Add, Edit, Delete, OK, Reset, Exit) with each of these buttons enabled/disabled depending on state. (For example, when Adding, Add, Edit, and Delete are disabled and OK, Reset, and Exit are enabled.)
Set the buttons Cancel property to .T. and then in your validation check for LASTKEY() <> 27. Again, this is off the top of my head as I haven't had to deal with the nitty gritty like this in a long time. Note that pressing the Escape key will now call your exit button's click method.
