The approach I take is to put a command button in the grid. The .Click Event of the command button instantiates a custom form class that contains an editbox and Ok and Cancel command buttons for editing the memo. The form class uses the same data session as the calling form and I pass the field name of the memo field to set the editbox's .ControlSource. HTH
