Thanks, I'll look at this. It would never have occurred to me.

Use the RTF Editor I created for Variable RichText Demo and change the variable
RichEdit to a variable Memo. This puts a little mini editor in your bag of
tricks that you can use over and over. Since it is form based you can add all
the little comboboxes, etc, to your hearts content.. I did this in my internal
application and I use this form over and over in the following fashion...
I have one table for ALL memos. All that is saved in the table is a memo ID
that references the id of the memo in the memo table.
