I honestly never noticed the ADDITIVE clause in the REPLACE command. Wow...learned something new today!

From VFP Help for those who hadn't noticed this either:

ADDITIVE
Appends to the end of the memo fields replacements to memo fields. ADDITIVE applies to replacements in memo fields only. If you omit ADDITIVE, the memo field is overwritten with the value of the expression.

  I'm having a Monday morning memory lapse.
    I have this memo field with text inside.
    I need to add a time stamp and additional text and I do it thus:
    With thisform.edit1
        .enabled = .t.
replace curList.pv_mo with Replicate('*',100) + Chr(13) additive replace curList.pv_mo with Ttoc(Datetime()) + Chr(13) additive replace curList.pv_mo with Replicate('*',100) + Chr(13) additive
        replace curList.pv_mo with ''  additive
        .setfocus
  EndWith
However, the cursor is placed at the _top_ of the memo field and I want it to be placed at the _very bottom_, so the user can start adding text
  in the normal way
    How is this done please?

Rafael,

Thisform.edit1.SelStart = len(thisform.edit1.value)
