Hi all,

Just new here and i am looking for a answer for the problem that i can't work out.

I have a text box, just one large box i want to be able to insert data into and go to the next line to enter more text in. Instead of having to press control + Enter i just wanted to press enter, i was hoping that someone in this forum would know the code to do this in Access 2003 Visual Basic. If so i would be very grateful if someone could put the code for me to use.

Thanks

Shane

You need to use a rich text box control. This is an ActiveX control, so there are issues with compatibility with your users there. You will need to get your system administrators involved to configure your workstation images, if you work in such an environment.

I realise this may be the case, but is there any easy code i can do in Visual basic editor in order to make this happen without the Active X, needing to be used.

I am not sure since using return sends the cursor back to the tab control. You could loop the cursor by taking all the other fields off the tab stop, and limiting the cursor to the current record, but then hitting return would take the cursor back to the top of the text box, not to the next line.

Anyone else have a solution?
