I have trapped the enter key using the onkeylabel. Various steps involved are as follows
In the start of the form

parameter bModal
public m
m = new mainmenuForm()
m.mdi = false // ensure not MDI
m.readModal()
release m
return // to prevent execution of form twice
** END HEADER -- do not remove this line
//

parameter bModal
local f
f = new mainmenuForm()
if (bModal)
   f.mdi = false // ensure not MDI
   f.readModal()
else
   f.open()
endif


In the Grid
   with (this.GRID1)
      onGotFocus = class::GRID1_ONGOTFOCUS
      onLostFocus = class::GRID1_ONLOSTFOCUS

   function GRID1_onGotFocus()
      on key label enter mainmenuform::select_comp_onclick()
       // to start the enter key trapping
      // select_comp_onclick() is also fired when select_comp push button is clicked
      // it can be any code you refer to
      return

   function GRID1_onLostFocus()
      on key label enter
      // to stop the enter key trapping when grid looses focus.
      return

This way you can execute any function you want to execute.
If you are opening another form then please take care to check if GRID1_onLostFocus() has executed or not.
A very old fashioned trick.
