How do I enable a user to line feed to a new, additional line to be entered
in a form's text box which has a Memo field with Rich Text as its Control
Source? Pressing "Enter" or "Tab" creates a new record in the table, rather
than moving the cursor to a new line for continued entry?

I will appreciate any help or alternative suggestions for a means for a user
to create & edit a formatted text entry.

Sorry, I don't have the ability to test at the moment, but see whether
Ctrl-Enter (or Alt-Enter) works.

Two alternatives:

1. Use Ctrl-Enter instead of Enter.
2. View the textbox's Properties and set its "Enter Key Behavior" property to
New Line In Field.
