Subject Re: Entryfield does not recognise the Enter Key From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Wed, 25 Jan 2023 19:58:19 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Michael, Cuaenter needs to be on, if you want it to behave like an Enter key. The moving to the next field is Cuaenter = off, which is why it's acting like a tab key instead. Since you don't mention your version etc, there is very little to go on, as I remember someone mentioning some earlier version may have had an issue, but since you don't mention that it's anyone's guess.
