>The _EdGetPos() function in Foxtools can retrieve the anchor or insertion position of the cursor for edit windows. I haven't tried this with a memo field, but my guess would be that it would work the same. You might want to check out my Extended Foxtools Help file (in the download section) for details, since you have to get a window's whandle.

Hi George,

Thanks for the info. I also downloaded your Help file and found it to be extremely useful.

Again, Thanks
