Have you tried to accept the key in the key down event of the control or window?

Or by having a default button on the window to take it?

And knowing which OS it is may hep. And seing the code for that field would also help people figure out what is going out.

Might be your input mask. Invalid keys can cause a beep.

Insert “Return True” in the KeyDown event.
