>>I seem to have the opposite problem of several I've seen relating to the default button: namely, I intentionally begin with default set to .F. for all my buttons, but then when then in the Activate of a page on my page frame, want to set the save button .T. so that Enter works in typical Windows behavior (I want to be able to set the default to one button on page 1 and a different when I click on page 2). Problem is, I can't get it to work, i.e. I set the button's default property to .T., then checked the value which shows as .T., but it doesn't 'work as coded'. I've tried refreshing the page the button is on, and the form, to no avail.

Its the intrinsic (default) GetFocus function that causes the problem - there's no mention of what happens if NoDefault is used - that might be worth trying.

In looking through my code, I'm not calling any gotfocus methods prior to trying to set the default button property, so this may not be related to my problem. But I'll take a look at that article.
