Thanks for the help , Gar. But the problem i have is different. I give the user "n" number of columns to choose from out of which any field could be of type memo. So I dont have a preset field, which i can test for memo. The user could choose either 1 field or 50 fields from various table i show him. So any one or more of these fields could be memo. Thats why i have this problem.

Thanks once again.
