Emmitt True but I was hoping to be able us make some text bold or use colors. If I use DB Memo on those you see all the font code.....unless I am missing something there?

This works great the ^ Lineend gets expanded to blank lines when you are in the forms as expected. Now, I need more room so I change the field from Note to Varchar then changed the form to use DB Rich edit. Now it seems that the ^ show up instead of blank lines when in the forms. Am I missing something or am I mixing up the data type and Rich Edit? Even if I use a DB Memo in the form to edit the Varchar text I still see ^^ instead of blank lines. I have Allow Returns checked. If I an in the Rich Edit and press Enter it puts in blank likes as I want, Those seem to stick but the old ^ Lineends are not converted or expanded to blank lines so to speak. Thanks Marc
