If a form contains one CommandButton control whose Default property is set to True, the Enter key activates the CommandButton. If the form doesn't contain any default CommandButton control, however, pressing the Enter key when the focus is inside a TextBox control (and a few other controls as well) results in an annoying beep. You can get rid of this beep by setting the form's KeyPreview property to True and adding the following code routine: Click here to copy the following block Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)   ' check the type of the control that is currently active   If TypeOf ActiveControl Is TextBox Then     ' discard the Enter key     If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then KeyAscii = 0   End If End Sub
