Is it possible to do a modify memo with out a record being created. My problem is I have a screen in which I am entering a new record. I need to add comments while I am doing initial entry and it occurs before I save the entire record into the database. I have tried the modify memo and it brings up the window I specify, but you are unable to enter anything. How can I do this?

You can use an edit box to store the entered text into a variable, then replace the memo field with that variable:

Code:
STORE '' TO m.FieldName
@ 1,1 GET cText SIZE 10, 30
.
.
.
READ

INSERT INTO .....
-or-
APPEND BLANK
REPLACE ...

And so on.
