This behavior does NOT apply to pushbuttons.  If focus moves to a pushbutton pressing the Enter key is the same as clicking on the pushbutton with the left mouse button. If you only ever have one form open at a time then you shouldn't have any problems.  Be aware though that CUAENTER is a global property so once you set it OFF it will affect every entryfield control on every form in your application. If you set CUAENTER ON, i.e back to its default setting, when you close a form it will also be ON for any other forms that are still open even if you had issued the command SET CUAENTER OFF in the open forms' onOpen event handlers. One can get round this by not setting CUAENTER ON if any other forms are open.  You will either need to keep track of open forms yourself by, say, updating a user-defined field in the _app object each time a form is opened or closed or by using findinstance() to check for instances of your forms in memory.
