Well go figure. ...I tried something else. Try this (using my example from before) in the on exit eep from custid field:
SET VAR vmemocust VARCHAR = .vcustname PROPERTY dbmemofield TEXTVALUE .vmemocust Works! Without the db edit for custname on the form (I just have the db memo for custname).

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.

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.

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.
