Duey: Just use a note field for the variable and in your form use the magnifying glass in the RUNTIME TOOLBAR to open a ZOOMED screen. In this screen, when you press the ENTER key it will do a line feed (carriage return); when you close the screen you will be prompted to save it and when you return to the field in the form, it will display the carriage returns with whatever your database setting are for LINEEND. I am not sure you want the field to display magnified every time as you will have to close it every time as well; if your have a short input line with no carriage return you do not need to have magnified. If you must, you can probably write a short EEP that creates a playback file with the <SHIFT><F2> command on entry to the field. Javier,

I need a column in a temporary table that can be edited easily with carriage returns. Here's what I've tried: 1. A varchar column and a form. This brings up a confusing edit box on top of the form when you try to type anything into the field. It also doesn't grab the initial keystroke when you start typing. If there's an eep that would bring up the edit box immediately upon entry into the form field that would work ok. But I still think it will be confusing to the end user. 2. A varchar column and RBEDIT SELECT VARCHAR clause. This works great in the full version, but doesn't work in the Runtime where I need it. 3. A note column and a form. In this case the form requires a CTRL- Enter instead of Enter to create the carriage return. Enter can't be keymapped, so I appear to be stuck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm running the latest version of Rbase for Windows.
