Peter, I do the following: 1: Set the controlsource of the grid column =Padr(mlines(<Memofield>,1),200) and this displays the padded out 200 characters as a textfield.
2: Set up a standard form with just a memofield in it called say memoform. Set the doubleclick() on the column to call the memoform with the memofield value i.e do form Memofield with This.Value. Make the form modal if you want the user to close it before continuing. 3: You can also set the grid to display the memoform form all the time if you want and have it change via the rowcolchange. In the rowcolchange() event and this way you get a perpetual "memo window" Note that you need the Padr() in (1) above as if the first memo field in your grid is length 1 character for example then ALL the following column entries will be displayed as this length. Kent doesn't do this and it is an easy error to fall into - the display looks as if it is losing characters!!!

I have a grid which is bound to a table with memo fields for the description and buckle columns. Running the form displays the word memo in the column. The client does not like this. Any ideas on how I could get round the problem. T.I.A.
