Make asterisk appear in textbox when hitting enter? (1 Viewer)

[Jenny Peters]

How can I make an asterisk appear while typing in a text box when I press enter, and also go to the next line.

The textbox is actually set as a memo box in my table, and I want to be able to have an asterisk appear after I press the enter key.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

jenny

Private Sub txtData_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    If KeyAscii = 13 Then txtData = txtData + "*"
End Sub

13 is the ASCII value for Return and Enter.

As for going to the next line, I'm not too sure if this can be done but yu could try:

Private Sub txtData_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
    If KeyAscii = 13 Then txtData = txtData + "*" & vbCrLf
End Sub

Your suggestion does add the asterisk, but doesn't seem to move down a line.

What else can be done?

Thanks,
