<< Before you chase the Control as the issue, be sure the data contains the correct values. >>
I'll pull out the ASCII chars in a moment -- although I'm fairly sure the UPDATE commands I used to try the three different possibilities CR, LF and CRLF) worked properly. Also, I forgot to mention in my original post -- the fields after conversion to VARCHAR display correctly in printed reports, it's only on the form that I'm having trouble achieving the results I want. However, note that when I simply redefined the field from NOTE to VARCHAR the behavior of the Memo control changed -- unless you think the redefinition also change the lineend character in the text? I guess that's possible. BTW, what _IS_ the correct lineend character? 13? 10? or 13 + 10? Back at you in a few minutes with that ASCII info. -- Larry
