I have a memo field as part of a form. The user types information into the memo field which may or may not be very lengthy. Once the user is done typing their information, they use a "save" button which creates a new record in a table.

At times, it may be required to use the enter key to make a new paragraph. However, presently, when the enter key is hit it acts much like the save button and creates a new record into the table (prematurely - don't want the record created until the save button is hit).

How can the user create a new paragraph in a memo field?

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Look in the properties of the control for the memo field. Under Enter Key Behavior, click to say 'Enter New Line in Field'.

It should be that easy. I can think of only one condition where it may not be. So if you are in that one condition, post back if you have any problems!
