Free form text fields on forms

R

Renee

Hello,

It has been many years since I created forms in Microsoft Access so I just
need some quick help to get started again.

I need to add a label or text field onto my form where I can type in the
form (not the end user) and provide a definition of what each field means for
the end-users knowledge.

Thanks
Renee

Use the Label tool on the Toolbox. You can put a label anywhere you
like on the form, and it can contain any text that you wish.

Thanks John,

I did try that originally, but it doesn't allow me to hit the enter key from
within the label so that I can list out my definitions. Any tricks that you
know of? Or should I just make each definition it's own label?

Type Ctrl-Enter instead of Enter, to put a newline character into the
label string.
