MS Access Forum / Forms / November 2007Keycode capture on Login form
I have a login form I've created for an Access 2007 database. There are three controls on the form; a username and password textbox, and a command button. When a user enters his name and password and then clicks on the command button I have code that validates the username and password, and if correct allows the end user access to the database. I would like the end user to be able to hit the [ENTER] key after typing in his password and have that keystroke invoke the code for the command button. In it's current state the end user must tab to the command button and click it to invoke the login process. This seems like a couple of unnecessary steps. Can anyone give me direction on how to proceed? TIA, Ken Warthen kenwarthen@gmail.com Ken One approach would be to add code to the Exit event of the Password control. That code would "click" the button. Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP >I have a login form I've created for an Access 2007 database.

I wouldn't have guessed that the Exit event would fire when the [ENTER] key is pressed, but it works.

Likewise, it will work if you press <Tab>, or use your mouse to click elsewhere.
