Instead using <Enter> as the >Default push button, I would like for it to jump to next field. [...] This is probably a bad idea, since it's going to violate the expectations of people using your program.

Unexpected behavior from a program is Not Good. -- *********************************************************** * Art Baker | Joy and fierceness... * * baker@westsd.dco.dec.com | * ***********************************************************
