Another approach might be to always edit (rather than add a new row) and use saverow on every field so that the form always displays what the user had altered and that is what is stored. Then it is up to the user to correct anything that is wrong <g>.
Obviously this is not always possible but it might give you another idea, Good luck, Regards, Alastair. ----- Original Message ----- From: "tellef" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 3:47 PM Subject: Re: Disable [Esc] on Forms > > >Try this > > >enter using formname > >set var lkey = (lastkey(0)) > >if lkey = '[Esc]' then > > do whatever > >endif > >return > > Rob: > > I've struggled with the same thing.
