I want to narrow down where the actual problem is.

Does the data entered in the form show up in the table if you browse the table?

Is the 2nd form open when you are editing the field in the first form?

What kind of buffering are you using on the table in each form?

If using buffering, what value does TableUpdate() return?

>EDIT control bound to a table. No views.

>>>I have two modal forms which share the same memo field. When notes are entered into the memo field in one form, they are not saved and do not show up in the memo field when one form is closed and the other is opened. I'm doing a tableupdate and everything seems ok. Am I forgetting to do something basic?

>>Are you using a view or editing the table directly? If a view, is the property SendUpdates set to true? Can you browse the table and verify the data was not saved. Are you using an Edit control on the form and binding it to the memo field?
