  It appears that this is handled inconsistently in various contexts.
  I was developing an ActiveX control in VB 6.0. The control contains a TextBox
  and I wanted to process the enter key. The control is a schedule keeper -
  type 'monday at 8am for 2 hours' and hit return, and it sets that.
  

  
  The control works fine in the VB IDE environment - clicking GO loads the form on a page
  in IE and everything works as desired
  

  
  Now I make the control and put it on a form in Access 97. Boom - the keypress event
  never happens for the enter key. Instead the focus gets shifted to next in the tab order.
  I finally made a workaround - I figured out a set of conditions under which I could figure
  out that I'd lost focus because of this, and used the exitfocus event.
