Default check box

I am using the graphical style of a check box to get a button on a form. Is
there a way to make one of these the one that is selected when the Enter key
is pressed?

You could set the KeyPreview property of the form to true and trap the
return key being pressed in the form's KeyPress event. This will not work
if there is a command button on the form with its Default property set to
true.

Private Sub Form_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then
chkCheck1.Value = vbChecked
End If

End Sub
