On user hit [enter] (On KeyPress)

[James]

I have a text box with a cmdButton right next to it.

So the user types their input in the box and hits enter, expecting it
to return values. Well instead, enter just moves it to the next tab
order, which is the cmd box. I understand that the on key press will
trigger this event, but it will also do it if the button as been tabbed
to. Is there any way to just specify the enter key for doing this?
Thanks!

Look at the property sheet for your button on the {Other} tab of the
property sheet. You should see a property named "Default". Set that to Yes
and your button action will run any time the user presses <Enter>.

How about handling the OnKeyDown event in each text box. If the KeyCode = 13
then ENTER has been pressed, and you can act accordingly...

Cheers,
