Thank you, though!! > > Steve :) Maybe there's one more thing you should do: thisform.mycmdbutton.value=4 (assuming you want the fourth button to be the new default). Maybe refresh the buttons after this. Wait a minute - .default option holds for commandgroups, and I think the problem you have came because you used individual buttons; .default should designate the defoult button within a commandgroup. If I get the time I may do some checking on this, the whole behavior seems to have wrong smell to me. Besides, I'm still looking for a way to have _no_ default button at all (so the form doesn't close or do whatever unexpected whenever anyone presses Enter).
