Allen,

I use a listbox, with something like this:

oListbox.AddItem("My Status Text Here.")
oListbox.ListIndex = oListbox.ListCount
oListbox.refresh

You can always peel out the text from the listbox and put it into a memo field or text file later if you need to.

In fact, I peel it out and put it into a table, so the line-by-line nature of the listbox works better for me.

Hope this helps.

>I have an edit box with a vertical scroll bar on a form (VFP5 and VFP6). I use the box to keep track of an ongoing process by adding additional text to its value:
>
>ThisForm.status.Value=oldtext+newtext+chr(13)
>ThisForm.Refresh
>
>However, when the text length exceeds the box size I cannot see the new additions unless I manually scroll. Is there a way to make the text box scroll automatically so the newest text is always displayed?
