You can't. At least not if you want to use a standard Access TextBox to view/edit
the field. You would need to use a RichText ActiveX control. I mean you could run
code like...
Me.MemoField = Me.MemoField & vbTab & "Some Other Text"
.... and the field would contain the ASCII code for a tab character, but it will
appear in a standard Access control as a pipe symbol or box.
