>>>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.

I am familiar with JUMP and you are quite right that I used it inacurately. However, pressing the ENTER key skips all of the fields between the current field and the first button in the TAB ORDER. It is not practical to set the focus in the for every control to correct this.

There must be a simple way to override the default characteristics of the ENTER key so that it functions as it did in VFP2.6 and as it does in almost every other app in the world:
- as the TAB key when the current focus is in a field, and;
- press the button when the current focus is on a button.
