Make the vertical space for the memo field smaller so that it is not
down so far.

Sort of general rule is to design the form so that ALL of ALL fields
that I want to see at one time are visible at one time on the form.
This will usually mean that memo type fields will simply NOT be able
to be as tall as the screen (the smallest screen) that will be used by
users of the application.

On many of the apps that I have developed I have created a double
click event to call a seperate form that just shows the memo field and
call it as a dialogue. This allows the user a larger view but at the
same time with the normal view they can see more of all of the fields
of the record on the standard form. This makes it sort of like the
<shift-F2> but allows me to design it bigger and to include other
information that may be helpful while the user is updating/viewing the
field.
