Textbox Problem

[Mark A. Sam]

Hello,

I have a textbox on form bound to a memo field. The DB is in A2002 format.
When there is existing text in the textbox and I click to the end of the
text and hit enter for a new line, all of the text gets deleted. To avoid
this I need to click onto another control and click back on the textbox.

I am having a lot of goofy issues like this with this Database. Is there
something I need to know to clear them up. I have service pack 2 installed.

God Bless,

check the properties for that field on your form: Enter
Key Behavior.

It's is probably set to "New line in field", use the
default instead.

Steve,

The default Enter Key behavior is set correctly. In fact New Line in field
is thne default for a memo field.

I tried replacing the textbox without success. I also created a new form
and couldn't repeat the behavior. I have had other goofy things happening.
For example, I put navigation buttons on the main form. If I gave a subform
the focus, the Nav buttons would control the subform. To get around it I
had to give a field on the main form the focus before changing records.
This is the first database that I have created using 2002 format. In the
past it was 2000 format using Access 2002. So I am wondering if there is an
issue with this configuration.

God Bless,

Mark
