Marc,
It sounds like you need a [Page Down] or [Scroll To End] property to move
the display to the end of your text.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is one.
However, could you add some "odd" character at the end of your text on entry
to the field then search for it and delete it when found? A bar | seen
momentarily might look like a cursor and not cause users to object. I
haven't tried it but it might have the effect of moving the display for you.
Regards,
Alastair.

I am a little afraid to send this but this is an important part of my app.
Sorry, I am really trying to understand this but I can not see what I am
doing wrong.
The example works but the Editor pops up and that will not work
for my app. The user presses a button, some boiler plate text is added,
then we want to see the last paragraph, then the user presses another
button to add more text .... and so on.
What I have tried so far
1) Checked Both scroll bars, with and without both scroll bars
I change the EEP to
PROPERTY CallNotes SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY CallNotes lastchar 'TRUE'
The cursor goes to the last character but you have to scroll down to see
it.
(I added more text to the field)
2) I made a copy of the form, changed the DB Memo to Rich Text
kept the same field ID, the EEP ...., with or without scroll bars
PROPERTY CallNotes SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY CallNotes SHOW_EDITOR 'LASTCHAR'
The cursor goes to the first character and the Editor did not pop up
which I do not want anyway.
3) using the form with Rich Text
PROPERTY CallNotes SET_FOCUS 'TRUE'
PROPERTY CallNotes lastchar 'TRUE'
Same as above
4) re download and reinstalled 7.6 for a 3rd time and still get the same
results
5) looked for old out dated RB 76 DLL files and found none
sorry to waste everyone's time
sitting in the back of the room with the dunce hat
Marc

Excellent!
PROPERTY subjid LastChar 'TRUE' does not seem to work, not
yet at least.
Does everything work with the provided sample application?
http://www.razzak.com/sampleapplications/
Application: Managing NOTE/VARCHAR Data Using BLOB Editor
If the available sample application works but yours doesn't,
guess what? That should give you some blues clues ...
Marc, you need to take some time and first understand the
controls, PROPERTY commands, proper logic and the technique
demonstrated in the sample application. Once you have a good
idea and understand the process, you can implement the same
in your own application.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
