Probably a simple question with a simple solution: I have created a database
and am in the process of creating a form for it. Now I want my users to be
able to create linebreaks in a memo field: if they hit ENTER, they can
create a paragraph, rather than jumping to the next field. Is that possible?
 
1. Open your form in design view.

2. Right-click the text box for your memo field, and choose Properties.

3. On the "Other" tab of the Properties box set Enter Key Behaviour to New
Line in Field.

Ctrl+Enter also works.
