   Hi Rodney,   
      
   I also re-read my post...   
      
   Perhaps I could have been more clear. I wrote "How can I   
   code it to move the cursor to start the next line?"   
      
   I want the cursor in the memo field to behave (with regard   
   to the Enter key) as it would in a word processor:   
      
   Hitting the Enter key after typing a few words would allow   
   something like this:   
      
   "The dog jumped up to the bed."   
      
   to become:   
      
   "The dog   
   jumped   
   up to   
   the bed."   
      
   With my present setup, that would be all but impossible.   
      
   Might the code you suggested do the deed?   
      
   Thanks,   
      
      
   --
