Text box and "Enter"

[Phillip]

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

Just set the text box's EnterKeyBehavior property to New
Line in Field

By default, the Enter key (like the Tab key) saves the field and moves on to
the next; Ctrl-Enter enters a newline character into the field.

To reverse these, set the textbox's "Enter Key Behavior" property to "New Line
in Field".
