>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.

Thanks John. I had tried to DISABLE the page tab (and that didn't help), but YES, your suggestion prevents focus from going to the page tab, but now the focus is nowhere to be seen...every control on the page (including all buttons) has a StatusBarText, and the status bar shows the default message (DB and table name . . . record #/# . . . record unlocked).

There is a disabled "Modify" button that has the heavy border, so VFP sets that button to be the default (I don't, explicitly), whether the last button pressed was "Add" or "Modify". The way I understand it, Enter invokes the default button, so maybe since it's disabled, VFP doesn't know what to do/where to "go".


>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.
Thanks for the heads up on that (and for clearing them out of the message).
