How do I set tab stops in an Access form memo field?

[Guest]

I need to add tabstops to an Access memo field. Can anyone help with this?

For example, I need tabstops at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 etc. but when I use the
tab key it sends me to the next field.


Thanks,
Harold

None of the standard Access controls support tabs or any other sort of text
formatting (besides applying a format to the entire control). You would need to
use a Rich Text ActiveX control for that.

You could use a mono-spaced font and insert spaces to simulate a tab effect.
