Albert, That is the solution I have come to prefer also. The button also gives you enough control so you can abort the exit if conditions dictate. I tend also to put the button near the top left and color it differently from the other buttons. This makes it always visible even when the screen resolution happens to be too small for the form.

Razzak, I'm asking the impossible - I want the user to be able to exit with the regular button, but I don't want the user to exit when he/she presses escape once too often while working with combo boxes. My present workaround is to add a bit button in the top right corner of the form to exit and I have checked the box you have conveniently provided. Albert On 25/04/2012 11:07 AM, A.
