Hmm I would rather the memo fields appear actually formatted and wrapped within the treeview if possible, since the grid based system used at present uses the memo fields outside of the grid.

Someone in the office just mentioned that the Microsoft Hierachical Flex Grid might do the trick. Have you used that control at all?
