How to trap the ESC key programmatically

[ClaudeColaco]

How do I trap the ESC key in VB code. I am generating reports in Access and I want to check whether the user wants to abort lengthy report.

Thanks

Thank guys. But I am doing the report generation in the event handler of the OnClick event of a command button. Can I check whether a Keypress has occurred in the event handler?
Thanks

set the KEYPREVIEW property of the form to true.

Thanks Debasisdas. Your suggestion enables the keydown events of the form b ut while I am in the event handler of the command button the forms OnKeypress event does not get called.
