Hi Martina,

There are some ways to solve that...

[Quoted] [Quoted] First of all try to set the button as not mouse navigable. Maybe it'll be enough...

If it's not enough in your case, try to use record validation instead of item validation (set Database->Validation Unit form property to Record). And set Data->Required item property to No. In that case you'll be able to use keyboard navigation as well. But you should check if the value in that item is null in the record validation process...

Hope that helps.

If you need more details let me know...
