at the command window (i am using VFP6), if i sql custid,custname,comments into array atemp, i can see that atemp(3) contains the memofield data. i change the rowsourcetype to 5 but still can't transfer the its data to column3 of the grid. column3 contains a editbox already. the memofield contains the given tour itinerary by the provider. i need to transfer this info to the grid column so that the user can edit the itinerary for packaging to inward bound tourists. is there anything else i could try? tks
