Hello @GerdesE,

 

I appreciate the detailed information you've provided about what you've performed to fix the issue. I'm here to help you resolve the problem related to using the Enter key in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Yes, you're correct concerning the Enter key functionality. There's a simple fix you can follow to avoid this button to work like the Tab button on your keyboard.

 

How the key works depend on your Preferences setup within QuickBooks. You'll need to disable the specific option from the General section of your settings.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Edit tab at the top menu bar.
  2. Select Preferences.
  3. Go to the General tab.
  4. Uncheck the box beside Pressing Enter moves between fields.
  5. Hit OK.

 

You should be able to make the Enter key work as it should after following the steps above.

 

Also, I've added an article for more details about how to use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to repair common QuickBooks data issues: Fix common problems and errors with the QuickBooks Desktop Tool Hub.
