This is a little frustrating problem - maybe I am missing something simple.

I had a simple check writing form so far. Changed the To field from character
to memo to accomodate address.

I am using a grid to display the 5 fields (Checkno, Datetime, To, Ammount, memo) and have changed the To field control source to MLINE(Checks.To, 1) to
display only the first line in the grid. No matter what I do it allways shows
just the "Memo" symbol in that field - instead of the first line. Tried changing it to LEFT(Checks.To, 20) still no go. The column is read only.
I have done something like this before in other apps with no problem.

I have no problem displaying this with a
BROWSE FIELDS...., ToField = MLINE(Checks.To, 1), .......

Any ideas? Win XP problem? VFP5?
