Bob,
My solution is quick and dirty. I
have a variable memo (component id ci_origin) with a script that runs a choose
command:
set var vorigin text = ' '
CHOOSE vorigin FROM #VALUES FOR yards_txt,
yards_txt +
FROM yards ORDER by yards_id +
TITLE 'Pick one or write your own' +
CAPTION 'Yards' +
LINES 25 +
RECALC VAR
PROPERTY CI_ORIGIN TEXTVALUE .VORIGIN
RETURN
Your user can add whatever they need once
back in the field.
I’m going to check out Mike’s answer
however, sounds cool….

Subject: [RBG7-L] - DB MEMO Fields
Does anyone other than me want a pop-up list in a DB
Memo field? I have some programs that would benefit greatly from this
feature. We used to be able to "write" to a field in DOS, no
matter the length, and what I am trying to do here is get some info into the
field, then have the user add to it up to about 200-300 characters.
For
example, I have pre-defined lists of surgeical procedures, but they all need
additional comments (Left, right, etc. or added procedures specifically for this
patient. I would use a DB EDIT but it only shows as one line in a form. You
can save it as a large block, but it reverts to one line only on save.
If
more wants this than me I will ask for an enhancement...this one can't be too
hard....eh Razzak????
BTW,
Happy Holidays...enjoy the blizzard all of us here in Ohio,
Indiana, and
PA.....
Bob
