>>>I have very limited real estate on a form and the old system used two memo fields (CTRL-Home to edit). I do not have room for edit boxes and was wondering what the best way was to approach this. Trap keystrokes and call a new form was my first thought, but I wanted to see what others have done or thought. Thanks!

You might not even call a form, you can just make the editbox in the same form visible/invisible when you need it. (make sure it has ZOrder(0) )
