Multi line text box

David Clement

3 years ago

I would like to know if there is a way ( I have read that there is a way, just can't figure it out) to have a multi line (3) inside a text box for the creation of printing barcodes.
It needs these lines:
Barcode has part number
Description, no barcode
Bin Location, no barcode
All on same label.

I have kind of gotten it to work, but not really.
Any help would be great.
Thank you.

Textboxes are all multiline. To go to a new line you can hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard when you press enter or change the Enter Key Behaviour property to New Line In Field. You will find it on the 'Other' tab on the Property Sheet.

Did you watch the Barcode Printing video yet? Check out the Barcode Scanning too.

	David Clement OP @Reply 3 years ago
yes, I have watched both.

Wouldn't they need to be in a label on a Report for printing?

Sounds like you just need to set up your mailing label so that you have the barcode on the first line and then the description and the bin location on lines two and three. What exactly are you having trouble with?

I think I have figured out. If there is abetter way to do this, please let me know. Thank you.

I thought I had to enter all this into one text box, I see now, that is not nessessary.
