Memo Box Problem

[Guest]

Hi

I run Win2k with Access 2K

I have 2 Memo boxes in a form.

The 1st one is set to Default in the "Enter Key Behaviour" in the "Other"
properties. This allows the curser to tab to the second memo box after I have
hit "enter"

However, even although the 2nd memo box has the same settings as the 1st
memo box, when I hit enter the curser just sits there.

I point out that the 2nd memo box is the last entry field in the Tab order.

What must I do to have it go to a new record after I have hit enter in the
2nd memo box?

Any help is much appreciated.

Check the properties of the Form itself. Be sure the Cycle property is
set to New Record.

Thanks again for you help John

I have looked at the properties on both the memo box and the form and there
is no place to set cycle properties?

Any Ideas?

Be sure you have the properties *OF THE FORM* itself - not the Detail
section or the Form Header. Right mouseclick the little square at the
upper left intersection of the rulers and select Properties, or use
the dropdown box at the top of the property listing to select Form.

It's the third line on the Other tab, and valid values are "Same
Record", "Same Page", and "All Records". You want the last of these.
