   Do you have the Microsoft Script Control in your list of components? If   
   so, then add one to your form. You then just need this simple event   
   handler:   
      
   Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)   
       If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then   
           On Error Resume Next   
           Text1.Text = ScriptControl1.Eval(Text1.Text)   
       End If   
   End Sub   
      
   You might want to make Text1 multi-line, so you don't get a beep when   
   you press enter.
