Hi Alan The purchase order entry form is extremely busy so no space to add a separate text box. The product lines are entered by typing the first letter of the product code which brings up an entry form with a list box showing all product codes starting with that letter. As you type more letters/numbers the list gets shorter. When the right code appears you can arrow down to select and pressing the enter key populates the text box etc. On that form. One of which is the description edit box. Filling in the missing parts and select the post command button populates the line on the grid. There are two pages to the form so I could put the description details on page two but they would then have to click between the pages to view it. I suppose I could add a field at the end of the tempory cursor to hold the full detail and make the original one a text field to show only the 1st line of the description.
Will persevere Got to go out to a client now so will look when I get back.

Memos are by nature of indeterminate size and grid rows/columns are fairly fixed in size. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/a57fa4cf19531343a2ee11b57db8e3af100...@server.peterhartcomputers.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
