Thank you so much Anders. Ive managed to MODIFY a memo field in a window as per your suggestion and Ive got it to work. I can certainly use that.

One niggly thing though. In WORD, when you type a URL then click a space to continue with normal text, the underlining and colouring is applied to the URL only. In the VFP editing window, I have to click Return to end the underlining and colour effects. Its OK of course, but not as neat as in WORD.
Explained another way, If I type a space and continue typing after keying a URL, the underlining/colour effect continues as I type, until I hit a carriage return. Is there any way to make this work the asme as WORD?
