Would this work for you?

'to ignore spaces use this
Private Sub Text1_Change()
    Command1.Enabled = CBool(Len(Trim(Text1.Text)))
End Sub

'or if space is a valid character for you then use this
Private Sub Text1_Change()
    Command1.Enabled = CBool(Len(Text1.Text))
End Sub

If the above code doesn't work for you, set the button's Enabled value to False and copy and paste the following code into the Code window:

[VBCODE]
Private Sub txtYourTextBox_Change()
'enable the Enter button
Enter.Enabled = True
End Sub
[/VBCODE]

Happy to help you!
