Hi Erik,
I appreciate the advice, both solicited, and unsolicited, but this code brought up a different problem. Focus cannot leave the textbox once it has been entered if I have this code in the valid. I couldn't even click the exit button, so I had to use my hotkey alt-x to exit.

>IF LASTKEY() = 13
>THIS.Parent.Command1.Click()
>RETURN .F.
>ENDIF

Are there specific problems that this can cause, or is it simply something they say not to do?
