Most likely "the beginning of the line" in the EDITBOX does not actually the beginning of the line in the memo field. Then spaces are added to the end of the previous line in the EditBox. You can hit "Enter" to intentionally create a line end and then you should be able to add spaces as needed.

>I'm using VFP6 SP5. I have an EditBox bound to a memo field. When I am editing data in the EditBox, sometimes I can't add a space at the beginning of a line. I press the space bar and simply get no response. Any other character will insert fine but not a space. I can add a space between the first and second characters or anywhere else on the line but not at the beginning.
