Is there a way to disbale the ESC key so that it won't erase the current
unentered data? If a kiddo pushes in their keyboard, sometimes a fault in
the design of the keyboard tray will hit their ESC key and erase their work.
The easiest way is to disable the ESC key. How?
 
Make sure you have KeyPreview set to yes for the form and paste the
following behind it:

Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyEscape Then
'Comment out the next line, it's just for demo purposes
MsgBox "Esc key disabled."
KeyCode = 0
End If
End Sub
