The data are not being auto-entered. They're being typed in by the end users. Sometimes, out of habit, they indicate that they're done typing in a field by hitting the "return" key instead of the "tab" key.

You can change this in this field's behavior options. By default all fields are set to use "tab" to go to next field, but they can also use "return" or "enter" keys to do this.


Thanks for the suggestion, Mikhail. I had briefly considered this approach but ultimately discarded it on the theory that I wanted to DIScourage the use of the "return" key (and, by extension, ENcourage the use of the "tab" key), not reinforce that behavior.

Out of idle curiosity, tho, I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who DOES make use of the "enter" key to move from field to field. Under what circumstances would you want to do that? Does it seem to work well in real life?
