I swear, I think 90% of "problems" would be solved if users weren't so damn fast! Sometimes you sit and watch these people and you see them leaning on the [enter] key like it was a hot dog eating contest, the more the faster the better. Sometimes it is worthwhile to design things that force the user to pause and think, to do an extra keystroke so they are deliberate in what they do. No more of this "how did I get here?"
Remember the old days, when everyone complained that windows was so much slower for data entry than DOS because in DOS you could type ahead and just fly thru data entry? I for one welcomed the "slow down" because users had to pay attention to what they were doing!

Users can go to any field they want on screen, in any order, and use any key. So far I have not gotten the ‘hey, I did not want that’ while using On Click. However On Click is really fast and I can hit 20 names quickly. Double Click works just as well, but forces you to pause slightly which can be a good thing. That leaves me with Option B depending on what the users do/say/request. Thanks for the heads up.

So test that in your situation. If you think the user will move around with the keyboard, and you don't want a single-click eep to execute for each row they move thru, then definitely do a double-click!

In reference to single (just click) versus Double-Click, there are fundamental differences. Single (just Click) EPP will execute just by clicking once. However, for special and/or conditional EEP code to be executed, user will have to double-click. This is how you control special code. Hope that helps!
