I have a small form, which comes up when I press a button in a Windows Forms application.

I want to be able to close the form by pressing the escape key. How could I do this? I am not sure of the event to use. form_closing?

Paste this code into the "On Key Down" Property of your form, also make sure you set "Key Preview" Property to "Yes".

If KeyCode = vbKeyEscape Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "YOUR FORM NAME"
