Naomi,
(maybe I am a bit slow) kindly confirm you require a grid with nColoums of which one particualar colum's source is a memo field from which you would like to show only the first n(10?) words and the rest of the memo in the tooltip.
This show-part is it always the first nDigits from your memo?
Rgds,
Koen
