If the form is corrupted, it can act in an unpredictable manner. If you've already tried my suggestions, are able to edit the memo outside of the form successfully, and your still having this problem, I'm afraid I don't know what else to tell you.
>>I don't see anything wrong with your code...perhaps the form has been corrupted. You may want to try cleaning it up by packing it. IE: use myform.scx excl, then pack. Or try cutting your controls from the form, and paste them into a new form.
