You can already enable / disable ESC in a form. Go To the Form Property
Sheet (dialog)>Dynamic Caption tab>Disable [x] caption button, [Alt f4] and
[ESC] key combination. You WILL have to put a button on the form with EXIT
or you will be unable to close the form.

Rbase 7.6?
Ahhhh......ok.....now that makes sense to me. I am using a dummy table, 1
column, 1 row just to support the creation of my variables. I now recall
running into this same problem before. Even when I tried to create the
"hidden sister variable" I had the same problem because the [ESC] key
would always abort my code before I could do the comparison. I think I
might be able to mess around with adding a table to the form, using a DB
memo field and then getting the variable from the added table. Or I might
need some OS executable to just disable the [ESC] key...or just hire
employees that have never used Rbase 6.5 so they won't be used to hitting
the ESC key.
Do you think it would be reasonable to request an enhancement that would
allow us to enable/disable the ESC key within a control or a form?

Mike,
It's not dependent on the control, it's at the form level. Now if you are
going to use Variable controls, you are going to have to set a second
"sister" variable to hold the value of the variable mapped to the
VariableEdit/Memo/etc control and check for differences between the
sister
and the mapped variable in the OnExit EEP and then save your changes
manually to the table. Totally unbound controls require a lot (did I say
a
lot, I meant a LOT ) of work, but offer complete control over the UI if
you
have the inclination to keep tweaking it, but if you are going to do that
stuff, then you might as well be programming in some other language and
using Oterro...

heheh...I did understand that I need to use my own table name...but
thanks!
Before I put this one to bed....how do I enable the pop up to ask the
user
if they should save the changes? It looks to me like the DB memo has that
option as the default, but the Variable Memo does not.
