>I have a listbox containing 2 columns representing 2 fields from a table. The field belonging to the value property of the listbox is a MEMO field. When I try to retrieve the value of the listbox I get the word 'MEMO' rather than the actual content of the memo field. What am I missing?

Use an SQL rowsource. ie:

with myListbox
 .RowSourceType=3
 .RowSource = "Select First_Name-(' '+Last_Name) as Name,left(notes,20) as myNotes,"+;
    "notes,emp_id from employee into cursor crsEmployee"
 .ColumnCount = 2
 .ColumnWidths = "100,300"
endwith

* Where you need memo
lcMemo = crsEmployee.notes
