>>Found this old message. What do you mean by "It would only crash if you tried to open the memo window from the browse (dbl-click, CtrlPgDn)." Where are you when you do a dbl-click then a CtrlPgDn?

Ok, first bit solved. You are not dbl-clicking AND CtrlPgDn, it is an OR. But still do not understand the difference between "browse the table and have the memo window open" and "open the memo windows from the browse".
