Very good example, Sergey. Looking at it, I have seen this myself and just attributed it to a bug in the memo field. I resorted to just using the CR as you indicated. Now I have a better solution :>) You have converted me.

Some people're saying that CHR(13) is enough in memo field and it works but not always. Take a look at Thread #549166.
