I have a dumb question if I try this how do I pass the memo information back and forth from the form with the edit box?

Am I right is assuming it would be:

Do form frmEdit with table.memofieldname to table.memofieldname

and then in the frmEdit just return this.edtbox.value?

Will it handle everything correctly if the memo field has a ton of info in it?

Thanks,

Paul Acton
