Behavior of ENTER KEY when inputting data

I have a problem when the enter key is inadvertently depressed when keying an
address field. The enter key creates an extra line for the field and messes
up the address label. How can I nullify the Enter Key for a field in Form
mode??? I did nullify the Scroll Bar but that does not prevent the Enter Key
from creating a second line.

Thanks in advance,
tomc
 
Tom,
First, as a general rule, you should be using the Tab key to moove from
control to control on a form.
However, text controls have an "Enter Key Behavior" (New Line in Field OR
Default)
Try Default...

Select the textbox control in form design view and set its MultiLine
Property to False/No.
 
Sorry, in my previous msg I mentioned a MultiLine property. This is bogus.
What you need to do is set the 'Enter Key Behavior' property to Default.
 
Thanks a bunch. That was the ticket.
