Wait a second. It's possible for a fixed-size Memo to be placed to the right or 
left
of other String objects. However, they both need to be inside the detail band. I
think you want, upon re-reading:

detail 1             Fixed
detail 2              Memo
detail 3             here...

You could put the fixed memo on the PageForeground or PageBackground band, and 
then
forbid your detail and other bands from printing in that area at all.

But if I still have it wrong, let me know.

Paul
