Jack,

I gave you the quick and dirty answer to your specific question but let me expand by saying I wouldn't do it this way. There are quite a few approaches you can take but here are a couple:

1. If space permits, place an editbox beside the grid with it's .ControlSource set to the memo field. In the grid's .AfterRowColumnChange Event place code to Refresh the editbox.

2. This approach is the method I always use. I have a form class that contains an editbox and OK and Cancel buttons. In the grid I place a command button in the column for the memo. In the buttons .Click Event I instantiate the memo editor form class passing it the field name.
