At the lab we're improving the chemical database system in FileMaker Pro, for which we need the ASCII value of the numpad enter. This is sometimes listed to be 13, which is the one for the return key. Using this value makes the program respond to the return key but NOT the numpad enter. Can anyone here help out?
Cheers!

Try ASCII value 10, which is line-feed (LF). The value 13 is carriage return (CR). Not sure whether the ASCII code is different for either keys on a keyboard -- they might be distinguished by scan-code, not the resulting character code.
The sequence CR-LF usually terminates a line of text, Unix and Mac notwithstanding....

I once spent ages trying to track down a totally incomprehensible parse error in some Prolog code caused by hitting numpad enter, and the character being inserted invisibly (no newline, no little square, nothing).
