To make the Enter key act as Tab key is a 3 step procedure:

  1. Set the form's KeyPreview property to True
  2. Set all form's buttons property Default to false
  3. Create an OnKeyPress event for the form like this:
procedure TForm1.FormKeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char); 
begin 
  if Key = #13 then begin 
    Key := #0; 
    if (Sender is TDBGrid) then 
      TDBGrid(Sender).Perform(WM_KeyDown,VK_Tab,0) 
    else 
      Perform(Wm_NextDlgCtl,0,0); 
  end; 
end;
