I have a program, written in VB5, which uses Sendkeys to Tab to the next entry field on a form, by using the following code :

vb

Private Sub txtInput_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
If KeyAscii = 13 then 
SendKeys = "{TAB}"
KeyAscii = 0
End If
End Sub


Under Vista, this gives a protection error. What is the easiest alternative code that I can use?

Thanks for your help.

JC.

i think you want to set your focus to the next control
try this
vb

Private Sub txtInput_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
 controlname.setfocus
End Sub
