Thanks for all the ideas.  Things sure are slow around this list these days!  Everyone must be having fun at the conference!
 
Here's what I decided to do.  Activates the Windows X method of exiting and prevents an accidental exit but requires one extra mouse click:
 
IF menupick = '[ESC]' THEN
  DIALOG 'Are you sure you want to Exit?' vyesno venter NO +
    CAPTION 'Exit Database' at 10 30
  IF vyesno = 'YES' THEN
    GOTO endapp
  ELSE
    CLE VAR vyesno, venter
    GOTO startapp
  ENDIF
ENDIF

So, is there a workaround for this that would allow users to click on the X
to exit but not use ESC?
Patrick,
 
You set [Esc] off to keep them from exiting improperly.
 
Just set [Esc] on when it's ok to exit.
