Access2010: have a rectangular bound text box where it is desired that when form initially opens (new data entry) that specific text appears within. Which is no problem as a continuous string. But if one wanted to attempt some basic formatting as to put a line break between words so they appear stacked rather than side-by-side....can this be done via the Current Event with: Me.TextBoxName = ? ?
or is there some other approach I'm not aware of.....
TIA

Try using Chr(13) & Chr(10) for the line breaks.
Default: "Some Text " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & "Next line text "

alas but that did not work. resulting in:
Some Text Next line text

ah - the issue is Rich Text
changing the field type to Plain Text and this will work....as will:
"Some Text " & vbNewLine & "Next line text "
as to getting a new line in Rich Text - from what I read so far it seems surprisingly code intensive......
