  The KeyAscii for TAB is 9. Look for in the old ASCII Charts in very old books. lol.
  
  Private Sub AE_SerialNo_KeyPress(keyascii As Integer)
  If keyascii = 9 Then
  ' Use it and ...
  keyascii = 0
  End If
  
  
  -------
  : Does anyone know how to process a keystroke when entering it in a standard VB6 textbox? Right now it just jump to next tabstop. What I wish to do is to catch it just like a keystroke;
  : ___________________________________________________________
  : Private Sub AE_SerialNo_KeyPress(keyascii As Integer)
  : If keyascii = 13 Then
  : ___________________________________________________________
  :
  : How would it look for a catch? I found out that there should be a textbox with a "AcceptsTab" property... but I can't find it. All input is highly appreciated.

  : Thanks in advance.

  Thanks for your reply dude.
  
  My problem is however that windows seem to handle the at a higher level so that I never get a chance to catch it. When pressing the it never trigg the "KeyPress" event.
  
  Any other ide?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Use the KeyDown event, for example with a Textbox:
  [and there are constants for the keycodes]
  
  Private Sub Text1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
  If KeyCode = Asc(vbTab) Then MsgBox "Tab =" & KeyCode, , "keydown"
  End Sub
