Hi all,

A simple one for you - never really had to do this before but 'every days a school day' :)

In a form, how can i make it so that a text entry box (a box to hold lots of text and numbers, no more than 500 though) can text wrap normally (rather than splitting whereever it likes) and can use the 'RETURN' button to go onto a new line rather than having to wait for it to wrap around.

Kindest Regards

Scott
 
Use Ctrl+Return to go onto a new line.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Seeing you speak of 500 characters, I guess you are referring to a memo field. A memo field will wrap according to the size of the control. Check out Enter Key Behaviour on the Other Tab of the properties sheet. It should say New Line in Field.
