Question
“The application I'm currently building has a table of memo objects. The users should be able to create memos from a form, and when they are writing the memo, the return key should give them a carriage return rather than take them to the next field. I know that will do this but I would prefer not to go this route.”
Answer
To enable the user to move to the next line in a text or memo field, complete the following:
With the form in Design view, double click on the text or memo box that you wish to set this option for;
Double clicking opens the Property window;
Click on the ‘Other’ tab and make sure the ‘Enter Key Behaviour’ says new line in field;
This should be the default for the memo field (in the later versions of Microsoft Access), but you will need to change it for a text field.
