Use enter key to activate a button

Featured Replies

Does anyone know if there is any way that you can tab to a button and use the "Enter" key to activate the button. Just like when you log in here....you enter your user name and password then you can tab to the "login" button and hit "Enter"

Just specify tab order like this:

1 - Username field

2 - Password field

3 - Login Button

Just a general note, return won't work, it has to be enter as far as i remember.

On a Mac it is the return key not the enter key ... may differ on both platforms.

I don't know... I told you i wasn't sure... the one next to numpad won't work..

Ctrl Return is the same as the Number Key Enter.

This is an interesting item. On my Compaq desktop the "RETURN" key, the one in the main key area is called "ENTER" and will not activate the "Enter" key function in FileMaker. However the "ENTER" key for the number pad does do what the program wants.

Also, does anyone know exactly how the use of the "ENTER" key to end data entry and commit records is effected by selecting the option for Field Control to allow using either the "Enter" or "Return" keys to move from field to field. Does this overide using the "ENTER" key to commit records or end the data entry proceedure.
