Tim, Maybe this is what you need to do ... I believe that if you do not assign the Enter key to something (eg a button) then it will by default act as the Accept button. If you want to intercept the Enter key and stop it from having any effect, then you need to assign it to an invisible button with no action. IE don't disable that button, it just doesn't do anything.
