    When I hit ENTER in a field it sometimes reacts differntly


    In some Forms when I'm in certan text fields when I hit ENTER to jump/go to the next field, instead it stays within that same field & continues to want to add data. For example, when I press Shift + F2 & the Zoom Box comes up, when I type something & press ENTER it starts a new line. Is it a matter of the field size being too big (I tend not to think) or is there something in the Property Shee I can change to prevent this from occurrng? I try my best in pricesly typng out my questions, sometimes folks here says that my posts/threads are unclear. Therefore, I'm hoping that someone has an idea what I'm talking about & kindly provide me with a solution.


    Any advise/suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanced.

    (For Access 2010)

    Check the "Enter key behavior" property of the text boxes. It can be set to "New line in field" or "Default".

    The default (which applies to all text fields) can be viewed or changed with File - Options - Client Settings, and selecting the Move After Enter option you want.

    I don't know if the Zoom Box behaviour can be changed or not.
