Not exactly sure what you're looking for but, if you want the cursor to move to the next line then change the textbox's Multiline property to True . If you want to be able to tab from control to control by hitting the enter key then place something like this in the Keypress event of your textbox.

If KeyAscii = 13 Then
SendKeys "{TAB}"
KeyAscii = 0
end if

Lalee5,

I think what you may be experiencing is that the Enter key does not move to the next line in your text box, even when it is set to multiline.

You should be aware that if you have a command button on your form that is set to the default button, then this will override the carriage return in your textboxes... You have 2 options.

1. Set the default property of your command buttons to False

2. Use CTRL + ENTER or SHIFT + ENTER key combinations in your textboxes to move to the next line.

Hope this helps,
