I have a form that is a popup form. I would like to have the form as a
continuous form for listing out the information, which works fine. But 2 of
the fields are memo fields and cannot be placed on the subform. I thought
about making the popup with a subform for the task list and place the memo
fields on the main form, but that didn't work (or at least I couldn't get it
to work). The popup form is a listing of tasks.
I am at a loss on what/which way is the better way and getting it to work.
So I ask the group if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts or may have done
something similar to get me back on track.
Thanks.

Disregard this. I got it figured out.
Thanks.

Hi John
There should be nothing stopping you from putting a memo field on a
continuous form. Is the problem one of space?
There are two possible options: one is to put the textboxes for the memo
fields in the footer of the subform, so that they are only displayed for one
record at a time.
The other is to make them just one line deep in the detail section, but use
the built-in zoom box to edit them. You could use the Click or DblClick
event for this:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

Good Luck :-)
