Prevent "Enter" moving cursor into next field?

[Guest]

I have several text boxes on a form, in which users will type a fair amount
of text (notes). They will want to use Enter every now and then to provide a
new line.
However, this moves the cursor out and into the next field/control/text box.
Normally this would be OK as an alternative to tabbing into the next input
area, but for these text boxes I need to constrain it so that it stays within
the current control and merely creates a new line.
Looking forward to your suggestions...
Thanks

Ctrl-Enter will accomplish this.

At the Other tab of a text box Property sheet is an Enter Key property that
can be changed to New Line. To view the property sheet, one way is to right
click the text box and click Properties.

Brilliant - the Ctrl+Enter suggestion was OK but it would have relied upon
users remembering...this way it is done for them. Thanks a lot!

I don't like to rely on users remembering anything, particularly since I am
in a situation where some people use the databases only occasionally, and
can't really be expected to remember nuances. The text box Enter Key
property is just another one of those things that sort of glides along below
the surface. Glad to hear it does the trick.
