when the user is pressing <Enter> in a dialog box your dialog procedure 
receives a WM_COMMAND message with IDOK in wParam.
Just add a check at the beginning of your code handling IDOK that verifies 
whether one of your edit controls still has the input focus. Then send your 
dialog procedure an appropriate message to set the input focus to another edit 
control.

Regards,

Harald
