In the script of your field:

on rawKeyDown pKey
   switch
   case the number of chars of me = 6
     enterKey -- Æ
     break
   case pKey = 65288 -- delete key
   case (pKey >= 65429) and (pKey <= 65438) -- numbers
   case (pKey >= 65456) and (pKey <= 65465) -- numbers with shiftKey
   case (pKey >= 65) and (pKey <= 90) -- lower case
   case (pKey >= 97) and (pKey <= 122) -- upper case
     pass rawKeyDown
     break
   default
     beep
   end switch
end rawKeyDown
------------------------------------
on enterKey
   -- your statements
end enterKey

Hope this helps,
