Disable RETURN in forms

I've create a form, defined max field length, locked the form and saved the
template. It all seams to work ok i.e. only fields will accept data and user
can't modify the form, tab moves between fields. But if ENTER is pressed at
any character position in a field a CR/LF is added which totally screws up
the fromatting, even though the max number is characters is still restricted.
How do I stop this form happening?

Hi Simon,

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=187985 for some macros to make
the Enter key behave like the Tab key.
