Hi, Trisha. The edit box controlsource can't be an array. I understand about the standards you are trying to meet, but if you have some flexibility you might want to consider binding the control to the data item. Generally, I think it's fairly well accepted that transactions and buffering have replaced get and scatter for all the most unusual situations.

>I am trying to use an editbox to edit my newly created memo field. When my form is loaded, I receive an error message - data type mismatch, unbinding object. I have the control source defined as the array that I am passing my memo field to & from. (I am using scatter memo & gather memo to follow programming standards used in this existing application.)
