Maybe Enter is used in some search-specialized controls, or in other
situations that I don't remember exactly now.
All you have to do is a IB_Dtataset.First, by code of by the
IB_NavigationBar. Is like telling IBO: "well, now bring me the result,
starting from the fist one".
so:
- Put dataset in search state
- fill the fields you want
- issue a First to have result returned

Have also a look at the Tech Sheet "RAD with IBO", where there is a
short description on how perform exact / partial matches.
