What would the proper way be to enter a sale, then be able to enter 1 or
more sales persons, their "costs" to the sale, and their commission on the
sale?
Then after its been entered, have all the information show up as a part of
the sale?

First, you'd need your tables properly designed... a Sales table, a
Salesperson table, and a SalesSalesperso n table. What you have is not a
"many to one" but a "many to many" -- that is multiple salespeople per sale,
but a salesperson can also be involved in multiple sales.
The SalesSalesperso n table would have foreign keys pointing to the record in
the Sales table, and to a single Salesperson. But there could be (will be)
many entries in the SalesSalesperso n table for a given sale or a given
salesperson.
For a particular sale, I'd use a Subform whose RecordSource was a Query on
the SalesSalesperso n table, joined to the Salesperson table. I'd use a
ComboBox in the Form embedded in the Subform Control to choose the
salesman... you may want/need to use some VBA code to create the new entry
in the SalesSalesperso n table and to requery the Form embedded in the
Subform Control.

Could you explain the last paragraph in a different way? I think I
understand the first part, but not the last.
Your salessalesperso n table will have filelds for their "costs" to the sale?

The form embedded in the subform control will be based on a query joining
the SalesSalesperso n table with the Salesperson table. The foreign keys in
SalesSalesperso n will point to the Sales record and to the Salesperson
record (for information like, Salesperson's name).
It would be in the SalesSalesperso n record, the one that ties a particular
Salesperson to a particular Sale, that the salesperson's contribution to
this sale would be stored. I am assuming different salespeople can make
different contributions to a given sale, and not necessarily the same
contribution to some other sale.
Use a ComboBox to select the Salesperson, and a textbox to enter the
contribution. The Salesperson Name will be displayed in the ComboBox, but
the id field of that salesperson will be stored. The Combo Box wizard will
lead you by the hand through setting it up.
If that doesn't help, please clarify what is not clear and I'll try to
respond.

Hi,
ASP.NET has some interesting behavior when the user hits the Enter key.
If there are multiple ASP:Buttons (rendered as HTML submits) on the

fire and the page will submit.
I have a series of pages with Previous and Next navigational Btns. The
Previous button is the first button, so when the user hits enter, the
previous page is served up. Enter should result in...

then the "ENTER" keypress event fires ON THE CALLING FORM! This is very bad
for me, because in my application, Form1 responds to an ENTER keypress by
calling Form2. If the user closes Form2 via an ENTER, then Form1 just
reopens it again, kind of trapping the user in Form2 (they can still close...

Who knows how to prevent submitting a form on the press Enter button before
all fields on the form are filled up.
People just enter the first field hit Enter and it submits the form and
doing validation,
of course flushing with the bunch of messages because rest of the fields are
empty.
I remember I had some pages where wrote the code to go on the next field
when pressed the Enter button (Tab like), because it didn't go anywhere at
