Microsoft advises AGAINST using SendKeys in some circumstances. See KB 
article 276346 "SendKeys Function Locks Keyboard on Windows 2000".

Try this. Put the following in the Declarations part of your form:

'=============================================================
' API function for "converting" the <Enter> key to a <Tab> key
'=============================================================
Private Const VK_TAB = &H9
Private Declare Sub keybd_event Lib "user32" _
                                     (ByVal bVk As Byte, _
                                      ByVal bScan As Byte, _
                                      ByVal dwFlags As Long, _
                                      ByVal dwExtraInfo As Long)

'=============================================================

In you code put this in the KeyPress() event:


     If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then
         KeyAscii = 0
         keybd_event VK_TAB, 0, 0, 0
     End If
