It may be additive, but it's still a 'replace' statement and will create a new field in the .fpt. My recommendation would be to extract the existing memo content into a string memvar, then show the user that with the date/time stamp. If they choose to add notes, when they're done do 1 replace. If they don't add, or cancel, then just leave everything as is. Dan Covill
