I wasn't implying I was looking for a gui tool. Maybe I phrased it wrong. What I'm trying to accomplish is a green screen solution where I'd be more than happy to re-display my underlying form and data after I've allowed the user to modify a lengthy description field. My intent is to only display the first couple of lines but when the user wants to edit that description, I display a "box" that they can move up and down, left and right, insert and delete then either save the changes or reset back to the original contents of the field.
The solutions I've been given, thus far, all look promising. I'm currently checking each to see how I could customize them to what my specific needs are. Again, thanks to everyone on the list!
