Hi folks!
I have a user who wants to see all the data in a memo field when she clicks
on the cell in the table. I suspect that I will have to make a form first
(which I prefer her to use). Has anyone done this before? TIA

Yup. I've made a form before.
Stuart, a memo field can hold a _lot_ of data. No control on a form will
enable you to see everything you could possibly fit in one of these fields,
at least, not at a readable size. Just make a big text field and bind it to
your memo field. She'll be able to scroll through the contents of the field.
You can make it as big as makes sense for the form you design.

Of course, the user shouldn't be using a "table" to access the data. But, I see
from your comment, below, that you sympathize with that viewpoint. <g>

Until you are more familiar with a form and its properties/objects, you can use
the Form Wizard to generate a form for you. Just select the table in the
database window and, click on the menuitem "Insert" and select "Form" or
"Autoform". If you select the former, the wizard will walk you through the form
creation process and if you select the latter, the wizard will automatically
generate a simple form using the defaults.
The user can view a larger window of the contents of a textbox by placing the
cursor in that textbox and pressing the key combination <Shift>+F2.

Thanks to All! I already built the form with a large box so that the whole
memo field is displayed. I convinced her to use it for now and see if she
likes it ;-) Thanks again for your responses, Stuart

There is a much better answer IMHO.
Use Zoombox, Double Click on text box and the zoombox editor appears
where you can enter or edit text, change fonts etc.
I will send you the mdb if you would like it.
send me an email at in**@psoftuk.co m

I have a table which I want to update by dividing one field into
another. The update runs with no errors, but the results come out as
only a positive integer number.
The datatype for the result field is float.
The datatype for the other fields are int.
I have tried testing by dividing 7 by 10000, which should give me
0.0007. The result in the database is 0.
