Re: #1

I _was_ going to ask whether it was an editBox or a TextBox, because that's significant, but then I saw that you're useing 3.0b. There is a KB article on the subject somewhere, but I'll have to look some more.

A neat way of using grids (in my converted opinion <s>) is to use the grid just to list records, but have fields outside of the grid for any actual editing. That way, when they click on a row in the grid, you could refresh the controls--including a proper edit box for the memo.

Unfortunately, rows in grids don't have a "wrap" feature.

Re: #2

Are you using SET FILTER? How do you setup your data? With tables, relations, etc in the Data Environment? Or, what?
