>In my application, I have a single form which contains a pageframe where the bulk of data entry is done. I have a command button on the main form which is hidden. I have programmed this button with a case structure to behave in a specific manner depending on which page frame is active when the user hits the {ENTER} key. Usually, this behavior is to activate a command button on the tab which populates the screen with data. The case structure in the default button's Click() property is basically like the following

>DO CASE
>   CASE PageFrame.ActivePage = 1
       * no processing to be done for this case
>   CASE PageFrame.ActivePage = 2
>       * do some processing; although I don't recommend calling 
>       the Click method of another control
>       PageFrame.Page1.cmdDisplay.Click()
>   CASE Pageframe.ActiveaPage = 3
>       * do some processing; although I don't recommend calling 
>       the Click method of another control
>       Pageframe.Page2.cmdDisplay.Click()
>   ----- etc
>ENDCASE

>What I need to happen is when the ActivePage is the first tab, hitting ENTER does nothing. For the other tabs hitting enter should fire the default behavior. I have tried to set and rest the default button's Default property from .T. to .F. but when I trace with the debugger, the property resets to .T. at some point I have not been able to determine, but before my code resets the property to .T.

Richard,
I think I might be missing something.

Why can't you have a CASE that does absolutely nothing? When ActivePage = 1, simply add a comment to document that you are doing nothing and have CASE statements that actually do something for the rest of the pages. See above.

HTH.
