Tab in Memo field

[BS Campbell]

I have a form with a text box bound to a memo field. The
user would like to be able to format the contents of the
field by using the tab key, etc. to format paragraphs. Is
this possible? When she presses "Tab", the field is
highlighted and the contents are deleted.

Thanks for your help!

You can enter the spaces at the beginning of each sentence
that begins a paragraph.
Why does the user want to enter in paragraph form?

Not using a normal Access textbox. The <Tab> key, as you have seen, is
grabbed by Access rather than entering a (nonprinting, in a textbox)
tab character into the field.

You may need to obtain a "Rich Text Format" control from a third
party, such as http://www.lebans.com, to accomplish this.
