Carriage return in memo field

[Jerry T]

How do I force a carriage return in a memo field. I don't
want the data to be in one continuous line, but want to
view it in a vertical format i.e.
zone 1 PIV
zone 2 W/F
zone 3 P/S
etc....can someone help
any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Jerry T

To do this automatically while entering the data, set the Memo field's
'Enter Key Behavior' property to 'New Line in Field' (it's on the Form's
property sheet's Other tab.)

Jerry-
You're post caught my eye because I used to work in the
security industry and developed a UL compliance
application using almost the same abbreviations you do.
My guess is that you might want to think about
normalizing your data and storing your zones in separate
table. It may seem like more work now, but in the long
run it would be worth it.
Feel free to reply if you have ?
