I think it is a fairly common practise in Windows applications to enable users to use the keyboard to OK or Cancel a modal dialog no matter which component has the focus. This is particularly useful for blind users. As mentioned, you have most likely set the Default property on the OK button to True, which I always do on model forms. It is also common to set the Cancel property on the Cancel button to True, so the user can press Escape to exit the form without saving changes.

But I have one form, not horribly complex, where pressing Return causes the form to exit, no matter where the focus is (seemingly). It has 2 TListViews (View Style = vsReport), 3 panels, a dozen buttons, half a dozen check boxes, one combo edit box, half a dozen labels, three timers, and a Rave RvSystem. Any ideas? It's driving us nuts, because we "feel" like hitting Return all too often.
