Hi,

Some more questions:

How is this action being called? Do you have an older .spr that is running when you call the modify memo? Or is it a vfp form? Are you browsing or is there a grid in place? By what means does the user select the record to be modified when you call your code to edit the memo field? Have you tried an edit box on a form? I didn't realize you were using local views with table buffering--I never do that so I am not the best person to help you with specific questions on that issue.
