Why don't you try setting focus to next control?

I couldn't get the other solutions to work, so I did something similar to your solution: <br />
<br />
If MsgBox(&quot;No matches were found for the date you entered.&quot;, vbOKOnly) = vbOK Then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Response = acDataErrContinue<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ctl.Undo<br />
End If<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help.<br />

I am using a drop downlist where the user enters a birthdate. &nbsp;If the birthdate is not in the list, I would like to use sendkeys &quot;{esc}&quot; in the not in list event. &nbsp;I am getting the message &quot;invalid character&quot;. &nbsp;Could anyone let me know what I am doing wrong? &nbsp;Thanks
