>i'm trying to display memo fields in a listbox. i have the rowsource type as 3-SQL and the rowsource is a SQL-Select into a cursor, this part is working. unfortunately the listbox just displays 'Memo' instead of the contents of the memo field, is there any way to display the contents using this method or will i have to try a different way?
