Dawn,
Now try that form after removing the DBEdit object leaving only the DBMemo object.
I tried adding the DBEdit and, low and behold, BOTH objects get the lookup value just as in your sample.
However, when I remove the DBEdit object, the DBMemo no longer gets the lookup value.

Sharon If both are text fields, then it should work, even if the object is a db memo. I just tried it.
I placed a DB Memo in an existing form representing customer name (text 30). I already had a DB Edit for the same and I assigned the same component id for both (custname). On exit from the customer number field the eep does PROPERTY custname TEXTVALUE .vcustname. (vcustname is predefined as custname in custlist whe custno = custno). The customer name populated both the text field and the db memo.

Thanks David, I had fallen a little behind with reading the posts and that information is useful when all fields are NOTE.
However my situation has the following twists: 1. Neither the lookup value nor the position I want it to go is a NOTE field; both are TEXT fields. The reason I want to use the "DB Memo" object on the form is that I need the text to WRAP. 2. Also notice that there is no TEXTVALUE property listed for the DB Memo object.

This very question was asked last week. Here are two replies that I
it.. It
Can anyone suggest how I can get hold of the VARCHAR value under program control, then pop it into a different DB Memo field?
Here's one way.
In an EEP or any relevant procedure:
SET VAR vVarCharAsNote NOTE SELECT VarCharField INTO vVarCharAsNote INDIC ivVarCharAsNote + FROM tablename WHERE ...
Resulting vVarCharAsNote variable will include the data from VARCHAR you are looking for.
Then you can manipulate this value any way you wish, including the option of using PROPERTY <componentID> TEXTVALUE .varname
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
Select someVarCharData into vVarAsNote ind Vin0 from SomeTable wher SomeWhereClause
Won't produce the desired result if the Varchar data has quotes in
Truncates at the first quote.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - DB Memo Object on Form
Hello All,
I have used the following command in an On Entry EEP to propagate a default value into a column assigned as a DB Edit object and it works great. PROPERTY ID_Dep TEXTVALUE .vDep
What I need is the ability to do the same if the column is placed on the form as a DB Memo object. It seem like TEXTVALUE is not an available Property for DB Memo. Is there a different way to get the default editable value into the DB Memo field?
