Re: Did the user press Enter or Field+

Thank you Doug.

I think the CHANGE() keyword together with
the cursor position will tell me what I need.
Now I can tell the difference between Enter
and Field+ on an empty field (with Auto Advance).

No problem.  This program teknik I only use in some
important parts of the displays.

I know, this could be a problem on some displays.
But if it is right adjusted fields, the users are partly 
forced to use the Field+ key, so in that case it is 
normally no problem.

By the way, do you code in VA RPG?
Are there any LostFocus or Validate events
like in Visual Basic?
