Geez, George, first you ask how to make a beep, now you want to turn it off!

Change the code to :

   if key=13 then

      -- change the focus
      setFocus(EAddress)

      -- prevent default processing
      returnValue( True )

   end if

Basically, Win32Lib allows you to take action, and then hands the control
back to Windows to allow the program to continue with the default
processing. You can prevent this by setting the returnValue to True. This
informs Win32Lib that you've taken action, and *not* to perform any more
processing.

I'm guessing that if you saved the currently focussed control in the
onLostFocus event
handler, and then restored focus to that control in the onGotFocus event,
that would
take care of the problem.
