"enter key behavior" default value

[Guest]

For some reason every text field's "Enter Key Behavior" property is
defaultting to "New line" rather than "Default". Anyone know how I can set it
to by default to be "default"?

Somehow you must have changed the default behaviour of your text boxes.

While you're in Design mode for a form, select Text Box from the Tool Box.
The Properties window should now say "Default Text Box". Change the property
there, and it should be effective from now on.

Thank you for the response Douglas. That solved half of my problem and
certainly got me over a big hurtle. I appreciate it. I should have provided
more detailed how-ever.

When I use the Form Wizard to create any form - every field that I select
from any table is placed on the resulting Form, having the "Enter Key
Behavior" of "New Line". While working in the same form, if I manually
select a field from the Field List box it has the "Enter Key Behavior" of
"Default". This disparity between using the wizard versus manually selecting
the field occurs even if I select the same field. Ie. using Form Wizard,
select UserName, "Enter Key Behavior" = New Line. In Form Design, manually
select (from Field List) UserName, "Enter Key Behavior" = Default.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Michael

Open up Tools | Options on the menu bar and look at the Forms/Reports tab.
What does it say under Form template?

The Form Template is "normal".

I'm puzzled, then. Since you corrected the default for textboxes, and since
you're using the Normal template, I would have expected it to be fixed.

Hopefully someone else will pipe up with another suggestion.
