Using Carriage Return In Control

[JeffreyDavid]

Using carridge return in a memo field

I have a memo field on a form, and people will be entering information and signing out and it will get passed onto another dept. and someone else will enter some information and sign out, and so on and so on. If we can't hit enter and move to the next line down, the data will look messy and confusing. Is it posible, in a memo field, to hit enter and move to the next line down? Right now when I hit enter, I get bumped to the next tab order field.

The default behavior for a memo field is for a new line to start when you press Enter (at least it is on my machine). In form design view, check the Enter Key Behavior setting. It should be set to "New Line in Field".

You can also use Control+Enter to start a new line in a memo field.

All you have to do is change the Enter Key Behaviour property in the textbox to New Line In Field rather than Default.
