Hi,
It has been many years since I worked with a database. The last being MS Access back in 2001. I just downloaded Open Office and am using BASE. I created a database with not much problem. When created the database I clicked on TABLES and chose to use wizard to create table, chose customers sample table under Business, selected some field names and of course renamed fields to my preference and at the end chose Create a form based on this table. My database consists of all our customer jobs and what paint colors we used on their construction job. Now when I go to enter new data I have a field called Paint Colors and would like to enter them in a format such as :
--------------------------------------------------
PPG SMOKE BLACK
PPG ROYAL BLUE
SHERWIN WILLIAMS MAGENTA
---------------------------------------------------
BUT when I go to enter the info there is a lot of space before I can enter text and I cannot get it to look like the above format it just looks like it all runs together. What am I doing wrong. See below my example: Thanks and I hope someone can help me.. I'm usually pretty computer literate but this is so frustrating. DV
