Multi line text fields

[TonyB]

I'm told that access allows text fields to include a newline character so
that say two address lines can be written into a field, with a new line
separating them. However I can't work out how you actually enter data into
fields in the table view with more than one line. Hitting enter moves you to
the next field. Shift Enter doesn't do anything.

Try Ctrl + Enter

Thanks,
It's a simple question but I couldn't find anything in the MS Access help
about this at all !
Cheers

Rule one: just don't do stuff in table view. Use a form.

Rule two: proper text boxes have a property called EnterKeyBehaviour (or
something like that), which lets you choose what happens when the user
presses the enter key. The default for a multi-line text box is to insert
a new line in the text box text.
