    When pressing enter twice, wrong command button gets activated ?

    I've created a form including a text field and a search button - and have added a separate/specific filter button as well as a "New Record" button - but now when I press enter twice in the text field it opens a the New Record form. What happened?

    Maybe change the "tab to" order in the properties of each control (the text field and buttons) or remove tabbing for the new record button so the user can't tab to it

    Also I usually put a caveat on a button - so a yes/no popup window to ask the user "do you want to create a new record?" first before doing it.
