Allright, you're appending a carriage return onto a string.  That is a
completely different situation than what you want.  What you're looking for
is something that will generate the TextBox_KeyPress event so you can .Save
the current record and .AddNew to start with a blank record.

	When the text reaches a Len(.Text) = 12 Then you can either SendKeys
"{ENTER}" (not recommended) or you can fire your event to commit the save
and add a new record.
