The Form that pops up contains a memo field to large to have on the main form. This memo field is a field that contains a large string of data. This data currently is read only, but using the first method does not allow the scrollbar to work, the second method will not put the records field text into the field, or I have not figured out how to do it anyway.

I have been wanting to pop a form over the current app, hack-style. It this possible this way?

IMHO its much simpler then FrmPopupForm and FrmReturnToForm, but thats probably dependant on personal preference -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/ -- Christopher Stamper [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/ --------------------------------- Got a little couch potato?
