Thanks, Troy, that's a mature elaboration of what I think I was thinking. Lemme' ask you another related Q.
I'd like f/my users to be able to leave the Field/Row when they press [Enter], i.e. no confirmation, as this is high-volume and high-speed data entry as well as the fact that I'll be doing the VALIDATION and SKIP processing through code. So, would you recommend a Key Map? Would [Enter] be re-mappable at all? Other thoughts?
