Enter Key goes to first record in DB

I have a database program using DBPro. The program has been in development for years.

However, I have a customer who says while in Data Entry screen if he hits ENTER key it jumps to the first record in the database.

If he doesn't notice it, then he is typing over the first record.

First time this has been reported but not sure where this action is happening.

The Save button on the screen does not have this action.

How would I solve this?  The action I would like is "Save but stay on current record" if ENTER KEY is pressed.

Is there a way to trap the ENTER key?

Or find out the default behaviour of  the ENTER key.

Found the problem.  Goes back years to when I first used the Demo app for AddressBook to build new app.

The original filter screen has ENTER as Shortcut key for OK and ESC for Cancel button.

Marked as None so no action is taken when hitting ENTER key.

What a relief !!
