Mildred,

Welcome to the UT!

Of course there is more than one way you can do this. You can drop an editBox on the form, and make it readonly in the property sheet. Probably should also set TABSTOP of the editBox to .f., and make the changes under the layout tab to make it look the way you want. SCROLLBARS to .f., for example.

Then in init method of form put something like the following. This assumes that company, addr1, etc. are variables that are in scope when the form loads (they really shouldn't be, unless you are creating those variables when the form loads). If they are field names in a table, you need to put the tablename in front of each one (for example, table1.company)

local crlf

crLf = chr(13)+chr(10)
thisform.edit1.Value = company + crlf + ;
                       addr1+ ", " addr2 + crlf + ;
                       alltrim(city) + ", " + state + " " + zip

You could also use textBoxes for each field, set them to readonly, and use the controlSource to point to fields in a table.
