Probably this would help

Make the ENTER key act as TAB key - Real's PowerBuilder How-to (rgagnon.com)

This makes enter key to behave like a tab key.

Hi Hussain;

  It could be because your trying to do all this on the Enter key where the DW is also trying to perform validation, keyboard to primary buffer data moves, edit mask checking, etc. That could be interfering with your code.

  I would suggest that you move this code to a User Event and then "post" that UE from the current event. That should let the DW complete it's processing before your code tries to take over.  HTH

Regards... Chris
