Yes, definitely Memo field. I also noticed that if I don't run the memo field through STRTRAN() I see 2 square brackets. After running memo field with STRTRAN() I see only 1 square bracket in the same places. So I presume that the second one is there for some other reason. I think I will let the customer look at it to see if I find this to be a problem.

Thank you again for your help.
