Tab Key as Entry Key

I posted this request a few weeks ago and since then I lost all the replies.
Please bear with me and re-post replies to this request again.

I want to know if its relatively easy to have the Entry key act as the Tab
key in Windows forms written in C#. And are there any real drawbacks to
doing so? Our users are used to using the Entry key to move from field to
field in the data input forms of our old DOS application, and I feel they
should be able to do so in our new Windows app. The programmer claims it is
very difficult and takes a lot of programming time for every place we want
to have this feature. From my Access/VB experience, I don't believe him. Is
he right or lacking in knowhow?

Good Idea, I'll give it a try. Never used Google for that before.
