As Benoit said above you can easily use the wrong constant for checking the 
enter key. The Key.ENTER constant appears on the help page well before 
Key.RETURN. It took me over a year to realise that Key.RETURN exists, but 
that is exactly what my keyboards provide when I press ENTER. 

Now I always check for Key.ENTER a n d Key.RETURN

SELECT keycode
	CASE Key.ENTER, Key.RETURN
		'Enter was pressed
	....
END SELECT
