This will definitely get me started. However, I don't think I will be able to put my value into the second DB Memo using TEXTVALUE (at least, I couldn't find such a property for that control either in the online property manual or by testing the control). I did try using a second control, an invisible DB Edit, to read and write the TEXTVALUE, but reading it only produced "(Blob)" in my variable. It sounds like you're suggesting that writing to it will produce the desired effect? Thanks for the help -- I will be looking at this in the next few days and will report back how far I am able to get. -- Larry
