Description

This code gives the "enter" key the same functionality as the "tab" key in a vb form. When the user presses the "enter" key, it moves the focus to the next control, based on the tab index order. Don't forget to set the KeyPreview property of the form to True. (My thanks to Pennington. His TabToEnter2 code laid the foundation for this code.)

More Info

The KeyPreview event of the form must be set to true for the Form_KeyPress event to fire.
