In a given form (in a particular NOTE field) I'd like to trap the ESC key so 
that it doesn't exit the form but instead clears out whatever the user has 
typed in the field.

Unfortunately my standard technique of mapping ESC to TAB and then checking 
LASTKEY() in the field's ON EXIT eep doesn't work as ESC is not mappable.  And 
the new ON KEYPRESS EEP doesn't help because this field is MEMO, not a text 
edit, and KEYPRESS is not available.

I don't want to use the "turn off all form exit methods" setting on the form 
property sheet since I still wouldn't get to run my code when the ESC key is 
hit, and I don't want to turn off the X closing feature.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
