Tab key behavior

[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!

The built-in Access text box doesn't support that. You could use a rich
text control of some kind; for example, the one written by Stephen
Lebans, available from his web site here:
