lets say i have 3 textboxes, i entered a value in the 1st box then i press enter, the value will disappear
then the cursor will move to the 2nd box, but the value i type in it doesn't disappear?

Disappear?

To clear a txt box I just use:

txtBox.Text = ""  'Clear text field
txtBox.Text = ""  'Clear text field

I agree with iamthwee! You should not use the enter for simple textbox navigation. Hitting the enter key is like hitting "finished" for having it as anything but submit is a big faux pas. You should set it up with tab. Click on the texbox and open the properties window. Use TabStop to enable or disable it in the tab order. Use "TabIndex" to give it a tab number, 1's the first 2's the second and so on.

I would not use enter if I was you cause if anyone was to use the program they'd fill in the blanks hit enter just to see focus change. They'll be confused.
