This might be too much work for what you are doing, but, IMHO, I would replace the single memo field with a child table that contains the time stamps as well as the memo, and then place the whole thing in a grid. Then you can use the dynamic color controls to change the colors of the rows in the grid.

But then again, that might be too much like work :-)

>>I have been asked if there is a way that VFP could display a certain text in an edit box in a different color to have that text stand out from the rest. What we have here is a memo field that when an engineer updates the memo field a date stamp gets placed at the end of their just entered text. It is this date stamp that they wish to stand out in the edit box. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
