Free text box - Is there such a thing?

[andy_25]

Hi all,

I'm creating a small invoicing application for a friend. They are used to typing the invoice description (details of they are invoicing for) into a large excel box and free typing it.

Is there a way I can emmulate this in access? I would need a textbox that stores character returns so when I press enter it does not jump to the next control. I remember doing this once in a VB front end.

You want the cursor to move to the next line when the Return (or Enter key - as some may like it) is pressed?

You will find this under the Access Options.

Yes exactly that, do you know if it will store the spaces between the lines and display it as ebtered on a report?

Never would have imagined it would be that easy.

Yes it would preserve that character.
