break off and msgbox

[Nancy Palmquist]

Richard,

Users can be so creative when they use a computer.  I think you need to 
turn off the break key when it would be an issue for them to break out 
in general.

If they are hitting break to exit a MSGBOX what is to stop them from 
hitting break in general from a data entry field or at the end of data 
entry and before the record is saved.  I have seen this all too often.

I see users that can type so fast they are 3 screens ahead of the 
display.  All their keystrokes going in to the buffer.  These typists 
can be a menace because they never see any messages and will hit break 
causing issues because things have not written yet.

I always handle @SK eq "BRKY" after an INPUT command but never have 
after msgbox or errorbox.  Maybe it was a flaw that never appeared or I 
just do not use them the way you do.  But it does give one food for thought.
