Be sure the table is open when the form is active. Also, if u r displaying the memo field in the grid, U just edit the grid drag and drop the edit tool from the toolbox to the column where the memo field is, and select the currentcontrol property of that column to the Edit box.
Also, make the stretch property of that column to .f.

Please reply if this helps,

I have the editbox and the table is open. It all works if the vfp desktop is visible. But I do not want the desktop.
Any ideas

This is not a proper answer but a workaround until you determine the cause of the problem.

In the .Init() event of your toplevel form put :-

WITH THIS
[tab]_SCREEN.Height = .Height
[tab]_SCREEN.Left = .Left
[tab]_SCREEN.Top = .Top
[tab]_SCREEN.Width = .Width
[tab]_SCREEN.Visible = .T.
ENDW HTH

Holm,
Either replace the TextBox with an EditBox in your grid, or add code to your textbox to override the default behaviour and open your own form/window to display the memo field.

Try this,
In the Init event of the form use

_SCREEN.VISIBLE = .F.
THIS.SHOW ()

You told that when the desktop is visible it's working.I don't know how you hide the Main screen.

If the above command works, and if your top level form is not active, use
THIS.SHOW () in the LOAD event also.
