From: Phillip on 9 Feb 2010 17:21 Hi, I have a text box on a form which is linked to a memo field in a table. As I enter data in the text box if I press "Enter" it leaves the text box and goes to the next item on my form. Can't you use an Enter within a text box? I want to format the data as I enter it for printing later. Thanks, Phil

To reverse these, set the textbox's "Enter Key Behavior" property to "New Line in Field". -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |
