Text Box And enter key

[Rojo]

Hi

I have a small database program in VB6, There is a form that has a command button that is labled "Search" and a text box for data base catalogue number user input.
My problem is that when the keyboard enter key is pressed nothing happens, you allways have to click the search button before the batabase will find the number entered in the text box
I think I have overlooked something simple, most likely in the properties somesware....Can some one help?

Hi,

"Tab" key is the default key which will moves to Next Control in the Tab Index.
Set this property of the Commad button :
Default = True

Veena,

What i meant was ......to have both the enter key and the command button respond to the user, either hit the enter key or click the command button in which case both will work.

Hi,

OK, Make Form's Property : KeyPreview=True
and Write this is Form_KeyPress Event :

If KeyAscii = 13 Then
   Call Command1_Click
End If
