cant make paragraphs in memo field

[papa]

I am an Access kindergartener.
I have a notes field in a table. I use a form to make
entries. I want to be able to bullet, make paragraphs,
etc in the notes field. However, whenever I hit enter, it
goes to the next field. In the properties window, nothing
is listed for "on enter".

Where can I change the setting so that I can do more than
a single paragraph in my memo field?

TIA

The property you're looking for is called "Enter Key Behavior" and you
should find it in the property sheet on the "Other" tab. The default
behavior is to move to the next control, but it can be set to "New Line In
Field".

Mind you, this does not allow you to make bullets or any other sort of
formatted text entries like tabs. Standard Access TextBoxes simply do not
support those. You would have to use a RichText ActiveX control for that.
