This breaks normalization because the field is not atomic - you have more than one piece of data in the field. Also, what if you need to report on this? Memo fields are great for notes, terrible for "data." I'd approach this from a different perspective unless this information is truly throwaway information. If so, you might try the web browser control rather than an editbox.
