RE: forms question again!

you can do it, if you use D4gl or fourj's and a scroll field. [a ] a = formonly.a , scroll; in 4gl "a" is define as char(20) you will be able to enter upto 20 chars, the length of the field, also the user will be able to "push" the cursor pass the delimiter to display all the data.

Uhhhh, wait a minute...Isn't he asking to be able to enter more data in a field than can be displayed?
