Hi Jill,

I have no idea why the Enter key would set focus to the Page tab, but you can not allow focus to go to a Page tab by setting the Pageframe Tabstop property to .F.

By the way, avoid using the brackets for key names in the future. The HTML tag processor rendered the post almost unreadable because of them.
