Hi Steven.

How can I get a listbox column to show the text on a memo field?

You can't. About the best you can do is use a RowSOurceType of either 5-Array or 3-SQL Statement and set the RowSOurce up like so:

SELECT LEFT( MyMemo, 254 ) AS MyMemo FROM MyTable INTO CURSOR Fred NOFILTER

or

If you are using a RowSOurceType of 5-Array, add a custom array property called aContents to your listbox and put this code in the list box's Requery()

SELECT LEFT ( MyMemo, 254 ) AS MyMemo FROM MyTable INTO ARRAY This.aContents
