RunCommand for "escape"

What is the docmd.runcommand accmd? for the equivalent of pressing the
escape button when adding a record to a table?

I'm setting up a bound form and would like to have a "cancel" button
that does this.
Thanks in advance.

Try

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo

SendKeys "{Esc},{Esc}" works, too. Because it isn't language dependent as
some Menu commands are, it is a more reliable use of SendKeys.
