How do i deal with a browse window, i need to use the EnterKey to
select a record but it is acting like a TabKey. I want to be able to scroll down and hit Enter and then it picks that highlighted record. But it jus acts like a Tab

Hi!

That's because you have enabled the Enter to Tab option in the global properties. To overcome this, you have to exclude the browse control from "Enter to Tab" operations by choosing "Windows Behavior" on the procedure properties page and choosing "Exclude Controls". I normally add all List Boxes & Buttons to this list.

Hi!

Have you tried it on a different PC i.e. in case the problem is local to your PC? Have you debugged the application to see what is happening? Have you checked the generated CLW for clues on solving the problem?

If you can make a demo app demonstrating the problem, you can send it to me to check it.
