Do not allow new line in field

[mleiser]

I have an application that has, among other fields, last name and first name. I have an input screen as well as labels. If someone types in the first name and presses enter by mistake, the label doesn't show the last name. I want to supress adding a line in those fields. ANy way to do that?

Are you really on version 9, Mike?

Now you are embarrasing me! I have 11 but never had the time to implement it. Maybe I should just switch from 9 to 11 on my workstations and worry about the server later. It should run my 9 databases from the server. But yes, I'm still on 9.

I do not mean to embarrass ... I just needed to know so I could make a compatible suggestion (if using 11 and script triggers, my suggestion could cause an issue where triggers might interfere).

Here is the simplest way ... select the fields you want to stop from second line and Format > Field Control > Behavior and at the bottom, check all three Tab, Return and Enter. You could also use auto-enter to remove any returns but why let them be entered just to remove them again when stopping them immediately seems best.

I looked all over. Cannot believe I missed that! Thanks so much.
