Here is another interesting behavior with tMultiget ( Memo edit ). When creating a new REDEFINE GET .... MEMO, there is a buffer essentially the size of the first line of the memo field. You can test this by clicking the mouse to place the cursor in the first line, and then hit End and Home buttons to view the existing space.

I have a client complaining that this space is then saved to a Memo field in a record, and then cause problems with printouts.

Has anyone else noticed this ?

I'm also curious about the behavior of a memo field. When there is no data, and I click on the memo field, the cursor will locate anywhere on the line where I click it. It would be better, I think, if a mouse click in the edit box ( GET ... MEMO ) would jump to the first space in the field like it would in a normal GET. Now we would have to hit the Home button to reposition the cursor. Its not a problem for me, but my clients are not pleased.

Any thoughts or input on this behavior ?

Thanks.

Just AllTrim() the memo variable before editing it.

I will have to play with that but right now I'm working from the data object which creates the value in a buffer so its not so easy.
