Enter tab in MS Access???

onechewy

Hi!

I'm doing up a report in MS Access, never really use it much.... how do I enter a tab or a return when formatting text in a text box or label?? ANy time I press either, the cursor just jumps out the box.

Doing my head in and I need to have report done in half hour

ctrl+enter

Tab I don't know.. tried copying a tab character from notepad and pasting into label, but it doesn't seem to work!

as far as I know you cant use tabs in text boxed or labels
in VB or VBA it is treated in both design & run-time as move
to the next control in the tab index.

To allow enter in a text field the multi-line property on the
control should be set on

If you know how to work with VB/VBA just add vbTab to the line.

i.e vbTab & Label1

Don't really know my VB (although am being manhandled into learning it from next week..), but I managed to get the formatting okay just using enter+ctrl.

Thanks for the input!
