Thanks Fred, but I will probably stick with the web browser control then. I don't want to have to step through every line in every memo field to determine the longest line before launching the control on the form. I have no idea how many records may be in the table in the longrun. With the web browser control I don't have to do that. Thanks for the information though!

If I set the richtext control to enabled and locked still after running the form one time all of the records now have junk stored in them along with their values and all of the values were truncated to one line. Something like:
