>>You are absolutely correct, it is the default action. Hrm. Is there a SET command that will turn that off? I created a completely new grid on my form, and ran the program, and the double click doesn't work. But it worked fine on my test form that was outside of the program. I must have some SET command turned on or off that disables the double clicking on Memo fields.

Absolutely certain without a doubt. Turns out it wasn't working because the form was set to Modal.
