Hi!

Try to set it to some window name. There could be already window in the system or VFP with no name, so memo window is not opened. Setting this property to certain name could solve your problem. I don;t know exactly, however, just an idea.

What exactly is clumsy? If you want, I will send you the list of properties required to set up to display edit box like a text box in the grid.

BTW, if clumn with memo field is read-only, you can use the expression for column that converts memo to text on the fly. Just make column read-only and specify 'PADR(mMemo,240)' as the control source of column leaving control source of control in column as default value (right click on th property and choose Reset to Default).

HTH.
