It seems like every month in QA we get someone asking how to undo an SQL DELETE or UPDATE query where they forgot the WHERE clause and the production DB is well and truly screwed. And of course we have to tell 'em "go talk to you boss, now. Run, do not walk."
Sandbox, separated dev environment, whatever: if you are testing development code against a live system, you are an idiot, and will get burned.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

At my last job we had access to production and even did the code updates. Then we hired a networking nazi dude who took our access away. Slowed us way down.
At this job I have access to production. Sometimes it is necessary. I hate working places where they put barriers in place just because.

I have been doing this for over 15 years, and have never had access to Prod. Didn't slow us down.
With that said, we had deployment engineers and sys admins that had access to Prod. Our DBAs had access to prod, but the engineers/developers did/do not.
I don't agree with your standing that you should have access to Prod. If you are fixing things in Prod then you guys are messing up somewhere else down the production line.
My two cents. 
Edit: also, if you have an issue in Prod that needs to be fixed, then you try to roll back at all costs. That is what a rollback plan is for. your deployment engineer should have one.

Probably a difference between large and small companies perhaps.

I don't even have access to the production domain, if I want to get the latest production data I need to go beg a favour from the project manger woh won't even fart unless he has been through the checklist for it.

I don't do it.
I refuse credentials and make a specific point of asking operations for data rather than access. If direct access is required then I do it in a pair set up with an operations person.
I also push that idea as part of the development process - developers should never have access.
I worked at one place where a casual question lead to be me finding out that the DBA was doing all of their development work on the production database and was not checking anything into source control. As I recall I don't even think they knew what source control was.

Still, I did like Magnum P.I., and his accent wasn't too bad.

I think that is part of the Windows text box control. Same if you press backspace in an empty text box.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

That doesn't happen on any app I've got, one's I've writren or otherwise
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

It does if you use the Win32 edit control directly. MS just disabled the beep by default in their higher level libraries. Because apparently, only Win32 is worth of the beep.

Check it out. Pulled up some Win32 code of mine where I had to explicitly stop the beep. Just to preface the code so it makes sense, it's C code and I used typedefs for intrinsic types for this app so I didn't have to change out my entire app if I swap from 32, 64, whatever bits, change compilers with diff implemenations, etc. in the future.
Anyway...
static numeral CALLBACK
subprocEditControl(HWND hWnd, uint32 uMessage, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam, unumber uIdSubclass, dword dwRefData)
{
...
switch(uMessage)
{
case WM_CHAR:
if(wParam == VK_TAB) return 0;
...
}
...
return DefSubclassProc(hWnd, uMessage, wParam, lParam);
}

She uses the ENTER and BACKSPACE keys interchangeably - they're close enough on the keyboard for that to be acceptable for any standard user.
Remove one or both keys from keyboard.
Problem solved.

The app beeps when a textbox has focus and the enter key is pressed. I didn't design that 'feature' but I will have to override it.  Try it...put two textboxes in a winform and try to navigate between them using Enter or Shift+Enter. It baffles me how she manages to 'get around' in other programs using just the Enter key.

It it a WinForms thing specifically? My WPF apps don't to that

I'll be dam... It DOES do that in WinForms, but not in WPF.

Now, how in the world did I not consider that a user might want to use the Enter key this way?. I must be slipping!
