Retain cursor position in Memo field, when changing to another field

[ACF]

Hello,

I'm having two memo fields beside each other for translating purposes. When I scroll down the text in Memo 1 to see what I want to translate, then move to Memo 2 to actually translate the text, Memo 1 field 'jumps' back to the top of the text. I'd like the screen to 'freeze' when I shift focus to Memo2.



Is there anyway to retain (hold on) to the previous [color=windowtext]windows[/color] position when switching between fields?



For translating, I'd like the cursor and the place in the text to remain static, whilst I go to the other field, so I can translate. When I go back to Field 1 - only to scroll the text down, I'd like the same to happen to Field 2.



Greetings,

ACF

The only way I can think of doing this is by using subforms.

Have a look at the attached database to see an example of what I'm talking about.

This question was posted on another forum and MajP had what is really a very simple answer. Instead of selecting a standard Access Text Box go into Insert -- ActiveXControls and select a MS Forms 2.X Text box for each memo field. Set the "Multi Line" to true and "Scroll Bar" to Vertical. Each memo field will maintain its place as you move back and forth between the two.
