I have a single single text field and button on a non database block. Initially the button is disabled, but when text is entered into the text field the button to be enabled. How would I be able to achieve that? any help is appreciated.

The button is disabled at the start, so isn't navigable until after WVI fires.
I think in this case you're just going to have to leave the button enabled and have the when-button-pressed check if a value has been entered, if it hasn't raise an error telling the user to enter a value.

But tabbing will just go to the same field and WVI will fire.
What are you actually trying to achieve?
Other than what I said, what cookiemonster said is the best solution.

When I press Enter or Tab, the WVI runs for me.
I created a dummy form based on a non-database block, one text item, one button. button is disabled and navigable is set to NO for keyboard and mouse. WVI fires if I hit either key as soon as the form starts, or after I change any value in the text item.

I'm surprised but fair enough. Presumably that's not happening for the OP though.
So:
1) What version of forms are you using?
2) What is your form level Defer Required Enforcement property set to?
@mforms - same questions for you.
