Memo field questioin; how can I get the cursor to move to the next line on enter?

[Roncc]

I have a memo field that I would like to use for ongoing notes. When I enter data into the field and hit the Enter key, the entire text is highlighted and, upon entering new (continuing) data, erases what I have just written. I want the end users to be able to keep ongoing notes on a client and I don't want to confuse them. Is there anyway to "tell" the cursor to move to the "next line" when I hit "Enter"?

Assuming you are displaying the field in a control on a form, have you looked at the "Other" tab of the properties sheet for that control?

That solved it. I should have looked there first. Thanks so much RuralGuy (and to everyone in the forum) for your patience.

Create a "dummy" textbox, named txtDummy. Make is zero tall and zero wide. In the after_update event for the memo field:

txtDummy.SetFocus

You're very welcome. I marked this thread as Solved for you.
