>My keycomp setting is "WINDOWS". I have now deleted the foxuser.dbf file and replaced the keyboard, all to no avail. The ENTER key still does not act as it should. I have no idea of what is going on here? The ENTER key should cause the cursor to go through the LOSTFOCUS event yet it does not fire that event. It fires only the VALID event.

It is the same beahvior for even dropdown boxes and all other textboxes. This is a global thing, but what is causing this? I am using VFP 6.0 on this particular app.

>>What's your SET KEYCOMP setting?

No, that is not standard Windows for the Enter key to move to the next field. The Enter key should do whatever button has the Default property set. You might want to check your SET CONFIRM setting, too.
