Hi Carmel,
Do you really mean a Memo field (No codepage, what's sometimes called a Memo(binary) field) or a General field where it can be hosted by an OLEBoundControl? Methinks you mean General field. If you can reply back with an overview of why you are doing this and the overall goals, an answer can be posted.
