Hi- I made a memo field in a form I created and I would like to use the
enter key to return so that the cursor goes to the next line. Right now when
I hit enter it i acts like the tab key. It just takes me to the next item. If
I want to go to the next line I have to press the space key until it takes me
there. Sorry if this does not make sense. Hopefully someone understands.
Thanks!

In the form's design view, select the text box, bring up its property sheet,
go to the Other tab, and change the Enter Key Behavior property to "New line
in Field".

Set the Memo control's Enter Key Behavior property to
New Line in Field

Or if seldom needed, in any control, to enter a new line, press
Ctrl + Enter
 
Dirk - Thanks so much! It worked and you knew exactly what I was trying to
do. Thanks!!!
