Validator Trickiness

Hi all,
I have a simple form with 3 validator controls on it. How can I keep
validation from firing when the user hits the enter key on their
keyboard?

Right now I have two buttons, one shows up conditionally and should
cause validation, the other has CausesValidation = False, but the
validation still fires on Enter.

Thanks

It sounds like you want your first button to be the default button when the
user hits the enter key.

You could use this free control to solve the problem.

And here are a couple good articles on the subject:
