Thanks All, I am happy to know that when we find something "that would be nice" that soon it IS nice. Will look for that TEXTVALUE property on the DBMemo object. Thanks

theDawn,
Thanks for helping out on this. I still don't have it working even when I do the following. I think this what you did. Have I missed something?
The following is what I have in the On Exit EEP for the WorkNum field. xWorkNum is defined as an expression, xWorkNum = WorkNum This all works great for populating the field MONEY, a DBEdit field. From the following I still get nothing in the LABDESC unless I also place that extra DBEdit for LABDESC. Even then, with vLabDescNote defined as VARCHAR I get '.vLabDescNote' infield instead of the value. I think I am loosing it! ---------------------------------- CLEAR VAR vMoney vLabDesc vLabDescNote SET VAR vMoney REAL vLabDesc TEXT --(I tried defining and not defining vLabDescNote VARCHAR here)
SELECT WRATE INTO vMoney INDIC IND1, + FROM WORKLIST WHERE WorkNum = (.xWorkNum)
SELECT WORKDES INTO vLabDesc INDIC IND2 + FROM WORKLIST WHERE WorkNum = (.xWorkNum) SET VAR vLabDescNote VARCHAR = .vLabdesc
PROPERTY ID_LABDESC TEXTVALUE .vLabDescNote
PROPERTY ID_MONEY TEXTVALUE .vMoney
RETURN -------------------------------------- Remember, all my columns are TEXT not NOTE.

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).

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.
