----------------------------Hi all,

I have two forms in different databases that I am trying to do use the same 
PROPERTY command in a DB Memo control but one works while the other doesn't.

The only difference that I can see - and there may well be differences I'm not 
seeing! - is that the one that works is based on a TEXT field while the one 
that fails is based on a NOTE field.

This is the code that works:
GETPROPERTY IDDB_Food TEXTVALUE vCurrText
SET VAR vNewText = (.vCurrText & .vMenuChoice)
PROPERTY IDDB_Food TEXTVALUE .vNewText
RECALC TABLE

This is the code that fails:

SET VAR vNewText = (CVAL('CLIPBOARDTEXT'))
PROPERTY &vURLField TEXTVALUE .vNewText
RECALC TABLE

vURLField determines which of two fields is (supposed to be) updated.
If I TRACE through using the form the value appears but it won't "stick" and 
the field never gets updated.

Is there something that needs to be done differently with NOTE data types or 
can anybody see where I'm going wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Regards,
Alastair.
