Hi Cathi,

I will work on this over the weekend. I have also experienced some interesting behavior on a third form. The third form has 1 textbox and 2 buttons. I coded:

Page.RegisterHiddenField("__EVENTTARGET", "button1");

When I press the ENTER key the click event for button2 fires. Does that help you at all?

Regards,
Neil
