SetFocus and Form Footer

[GK in the UK]

I put my form command buttons in the footer and I'm thinking it may be a design mistake.

I like to set my forms up for fast data throughput. So I put a SetFocus in the exit event of the last field to jump to the Save and Close button, user just presses return and all is done.

Form footer also has a &Cancel button. But the SetFocus means user can never just press Alt+C to close, it has to be done twice.

Is there a fix for this ? Apart from re-working my forms ?

Hi. Just guessing but maybe also use the KeyDown event to check Alt keys?

Thank you, I think I'll probably rework my forms so I don't have to jump into the footer section

Okay. Good luck!
