Got ya... But wonder if you wanted to update the field with "O'Malley"? How could you do that? I have long memo fields in SQL that tons of approstrophies and single quotes. I'm bring them into VFP with SQL Select, and want the user to update in an edit field, press , and then I do a SQL UPDATE fuction.

thanks....
