David and Diana,

PMFJI, but I have had the exact same experience as Diana, and have implemented a solution functionally equivalent to that suggested by David.

But David, don't you think there is something weird about M$ postulating a "standard" UI in which normal intuitive behavior is now wrong? Not that I am picking an argument with you, just that it strikes me as very Orwellian, and wondering if you have the same notion. It seems only proper to suggest standard uses for ALT vs. CTRL, to take F1 as help, F10 as menu, etc. But it always struck me as weird that Windows so fundamentally modified the intent of the ENTER Key (to "submit" a form), and I have noticed that absolutely none of my users are interested in having me explain that to them, and they all want the ENTER key to be a navigation key.

What's chances M$ will ever admit, in word or action, that this is counter-intuitive and offer an alternative?
