AC2000 - hitting enter after zooming a memo field closes the zoom instead of creating a new line

I think that just about sums it up. Is there a fix/workaround for this?It's
quite annoying behaviour and not user-friendly.thanks Martin

Then, wrap that form in a function. I'd do it like this:

Public Sub MyZoom(ctl As Control)
DoCmd.OpenForm "dlgMyZoom" , , , , , acDialog,ctl.Va lue
If Forms!dlgMyZoom .Tag <> "Cancel" Then
ctl = Forms!dlgMyZoom !txtMemo
End If
DoCmd.Close acForm, "dlgMyZoom"
End Sub

This would allow you to customize your zoom form to your heart's
content.


Sorry for not replying sooner but i've just tried implementing
this as I suddenly realised this could be quite useful.
When I call the MyZoom function what exactly am I passing to it?

Presumably the name of the textbox control that the user is
double-clicking on?


No, you're passing a control reference (since the parameter is of
type Control).

Thus:

Call ZoomBox (Me!txtFieldToB eEdited)

But do look at what Steve Jorgensen posted in response to my
recommendation. I don't do things that way, but he does have a good
point.


Cheers I will have a look but i have no idea what Autokeys is so some
research is warranted.

Thanks for the very quick response posting that I can use a memo datatype to store large amounts of text. I understand that I can turn on "Can Grow" for a memo type, but is there either a property or VB code that will allow the text box to expand vertically as the user adds lines, so that it isn't necessary to use the vertical scroll bar to view text above/below the displayed window? I'm looking for a sort of dynamic autosize.

AccessXP When I use the wizard to create a form, all the textboxes are created with the Enter Key Behaviour of "New Line In Field". When I create the form manually the Enter Key Behaviour is "Default". "New Line In Field" is undesirable because when I go to enter data in the field and then ptess <Enter>, rather than go to the next field, a carriage return is entered in the textbox and as the property says, Access goes to a new line in...

Hi all, I really am in desperate need of some code that can zoom in on an image. I don't want to just make the whole image bigger, i want to have a box ( <p> tag ) that is the zooming window... so the image is always the same size, the box is always the same size, and only when the box is moved over the image, the part of the image that is inside the box will get zoomed.. so it's like a lil magnifying glass that is being moved around...

Hello, I'm looking for a way to parse/format a memo field within a report. The Access 2000 database (application) has an equipment table that holds a memo field. Within the report, the memo field is printed within the detailed area. The problem is, the apllication is not setup properly, thus the users are entering data within the memo field as: location1 1/1/2005 1/1/2006

Hi there, I am currently writing an application where one inspects images and annotates certain features. Thus, one has to zoom in (4x) and pan around. The features are marked with little red rectangles.The images are 2048x2048 pixels. It seems that I can find no efficient way to implement both zooming and panning. At present I have a panel with autoscroll set to true inside which there is

I was wondering if there was a way to hit enter to insert blank lines while in the designer? I tried this but all it seems to want to do is insert code that really shouldn't be there. For example, I had a heading 1 centered on a page. Right under that I had some words in smaller print right under the heading. When I hit enter after the heading 1, it automatically put the text right below it in a <p></ptag. I don't want this sort of stuff to...

I am currently creating a little photo application. In this application the user is able to zoom in the image and after zooming panning around inside the zoomed image with the mouse. The strange thing is that the first zoom is really slow, and so is the first panning. So if you zoom into an image it will first take some time, and when trying to pan the image around things will be really choppy. However if i zoom into the image even more, and...
