Mark, for the Memo display make the controlsource of the grid column: =Padr(Mline(<FieldName>,1),254)
That will display the first line of the memo field. What I usually do is allow them to double click on the displayed data field (as per above) and then open up a separate form which I pass the Primary_Key of the record to and display the memo field in the form. That way it remains static on the screen once clicked. You could easily update it dynamically as you move up and down the grid though. The problem with tooltips is that : 1. they sometimes do not fire up 2. They won't show up large amounts of data As for grid highlighting try turning themes off. Dave Crozier -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Stanton Sent: 25 February 2009 13:48 To: [email protected] Subject: Grids, row highlight and memo's I've got a dynamic row background colouring setup going on in my grid, alternating muted colours overlaid by rows with an error condition in red. Works just fine. But I want to turn "current row" highlighting off, so it doesn't muck up this colouring. I've turned off cellselection (.F.), highlight style (0), and highlight row (.F.) and it's STILL highlighting the row I click on. Is there any way to make it stop? And in a (hopefully unrelated) situation, I've got a memo field that contain way more text than I've got room for on the form, so I just want the contents to appear in a tooltip. I can do that at the cost of a whole column of meaningless (to users) "memo/Memo" text. What I'd prefer is to show the first little bit of the contents, so empty fields show up as blank space, and *then* the tooltip contains the full text. I haven't find a way to do this. Is there a way?
