>I seem to remember seeing a setting which will allow the user to advance through the fields on a form by using the ENTER key rather than the TAB key. Can anyone help me with this? I don't recall what that command/setting is. Also, if such a command exists, how does it effect the behavior of the DEFAULT button on a form?

ENTER has some side effects which your users should be made aware of. Tracy mentioned CheckBoxes. Another object is a CommandButton - Tab moves the focus to the next object, ENTER is like clicking on the button.
You
might convert all ENTERs to TABs, with an ON KEY LABEL or the KeyPress() event, but I am not so sure whether I would really recommend it.
Better just tell your users about the side-effect. Selecting the CommandButton with an additional ENTER is actually quite convenient in some cases: in my forms, users input data into several fields, advancing with ENTER, and then just click ENTER once more on a CommandButton to add a new record.
