Not able to capture Keypress for (13)

[gamesman]

I have a form on which resides a single textbox and a few hidden fields. In an attempt to save keystrokes for the user I would like to capture the KeyPress Chr(13) - the Enter key - to initate my code. It's not working.

It maybe that I shouldn't be using 13. I'm not sure. Any assistance would be appreciated. I'm using access 2000.

I want the Enter Key to initate a validation of the hidden fields and either open another form or cancel.

Did you set the form level property ‘Key Preview’ to Yes and set the ‘On Key Press’ to an event procedure. In the ‘On Key Press’ event procedure, check for ASCII = vbKeyReturn ( which is 13). If it is. Place your validation code there.

Thanks. Apparently the error was in my validation code. It's working ok.

Another way to do it would have been to add a command button to your form and set it's Default Propery to True. Then pressing Enter would automatically trigger the command button's Click event . . . _________
