My understanding is that these could be used in any situation where it is necessary to invoke some set of functionality in an on-demand/ad-hoc basis, such as when using some sort of VARIABLE FORM to browse a set of data, then click a button to invoke a form for editing data associated with a selected record.
I use them like this regularly. I have also used them in what is still an "X-project" to Start/Stop/Record_Finisher/Etc in a VARIABLE FORM that displays a "stopwatch" and can log finish times and positions in a race. I might be wrong about this one, but I seem to recall that some of these form controls that are outside the TAB ORDER were "stripped of their membership" therein as the result of one or more of us making a specific request to RBTI to have - actually, not have - this attribute.

Mike: Razzak answered already that these aren't in tab order. You should understand that speed buttons have no "focus" so you can't change their order. In other words, if you click on a speed button, the form thinks you're still in the previous field you were in. This is real important to know if you have eeps that are on the exit of that field. If you click on a speed button, those exit eeps would not fire. For this reason I have totally stopped using speed buttons on my forms; when I run across an old one I immediately change it to a bit button. I'm sure there are reasons you want a button that doesn't change focus, but I don't personally know of any.... Karen Is there a way to make the tab key go to an Ehanced Speed Button? When I look at the "Change Tab Order" box, Enhanced Speed Buttons are not in the list. Mike
