Memo field spacing question

B

Belinda7237

I have a memo field in a form and I want to be able to have the user hit
enter to move to the next line of the space, however when you hit enter in
the field it just brings you to the next field in the form.

In excel I would accomplish this by hitting the alt and enter key - how do i
do this in a memo field on a form?

You can hit Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter or set the property sheet (Enter Key
Behavior property) for the control to New Line in Field (on the Other tab).
