I usually put a Pause 2 using '' in there for testing just to see if it is
firing. I take it you have disabled the default behavior of requiring the
user to answer yes/no to the save data dialog that pops up. Wouldn't
enabling that behavior solve the problem?

Nope, that did not work for me...
Here is my code....
SET V vlastkey = (LASTKEY(0))
IF vlastkey = '[ESC]' THEN
SKIP 0
ENDIF
RETURN
When I trace it, it looks like the ESC key interupts the code before the
ON EXIT EEP ever gets a chance to run.

Apples and Oranges. We didn't have a Memo control in 6.5.
The behaviors of the 7.0 and up controls are windows controls and you
have
to work with that in mind. Did you try trapping for the '[ESC]' in the
onEXIT eep using LastKey and see if SKIP 0 would solve it?
Sometimes just trying the brute force method gets an answer quicker
than
waiting for a reply from the list. I didn't try it, but that is what I
would do.

Hi all,
I have a Variable Memo field in a form. If I change the data and hit
the tab
key, the changes are saved. But..my users are used to using Ver 6.5,
where
hitting the ESC key would save the changes. In Version 7.6, hitting the
ESC
key "cancels/undoes" the changes. Is it possible, to make the press of
an
ESC key save changes?
I tried to remap the ESC key to [TAB][ESC], but that does not seem to
work.
If not, is it possible to make the ESC key just not do anything?
