its for my web browser project im doing for a final and cant seem to figure it out

You don't really need to make it click the button.
The onclick event for the button calls a function that you attach to it when you create the button.

All you need to do is in the onkeydown event for the textbox is
check to see if the enter key was pressed
if yes then call the same function that the buttons onclick calls

Delerna, the onkeydown event is either vba or .net as I know it is not a VB6 event...

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox "clicked"
End Sub
 
Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then Command1.Value = True
End Sub
 

Good Luck

That is true in the syntactical sense. I was refering to the event that occurs when you press a key down or click a button, thats why there was no code. I guess I should have written "the click event" rather than "onclick event" and "the key down event" rather than "onkeydown event" so I concede your point. I suppose the way I wrote them reflects where I do most of my development these days.

Whatever the syntax however, the idea still remains the same
also
ControlName_KeyDown(...) is indeed a valid VB6 event
as is
ControlName_KeyUp(...)
