The onExit eep never fires because you never left the edit box. Can't you suppress the '[esc]' key for the form and make them press a button to exit. It should work ok then.

If the user presses [esc] while in the last variable edit it does not save the value. I had a solution to this problem saved in my note document, but it doesn't work now that I need to use it. The exact posting from this list said: I put PROPERTY RBASE_FORM DONTSHOWSAVEDIALOG 'TRUE' in a test form and put the following in the onExit EEP and it saves the data. IF (LASTKEY(0)) = '[esc]' THEN PROPERTY TABLE IntCmd 'POST' ENDIF RETURN I replaced the tablename with my own table but it doesn't work. It seems that pressing [esc] from the last field doesn't even evaluate the field's "on exit" eep (I put a pause message in there it never shows). Has anyone else done this successfully?
