>>I don't think that button gets pressed (may be you press ENTER two times instead of one). You can intercept ENTER key in control.keypress event and replace it with other key there, e.g.
>>IF nKeycode=13
>>KEYBOARD '{TAB}'

>It only takes one press of ENTER to jump from any field to the next available button. There must be an overriding setting to adjust this. I could not find anything in CONFIG.FPW or in my other system settings to change this but there must be a way without reprogramming every keys KEYPRESS event.
Jump and Press are different things. If instead of button you want to get to some other control, then you should either change tab order in Form Designer, or use SetFocus to move it to the needed control.
