What I am looking at doing is creating a black box function, that will be passed a memo field, open up a form so the user can edit this field in a pop-up box, then pass back the edits to the calling form.


Now the question is, is this even possible? If so how do I assign the run-tune variable to the form, as the variable does not exist at the time of the form creation.


The reason for the function is simply to give the user a better experience. The pop-up box would only 'pop up' if the user clicks in the field, that way the field is there but no popping open and closed as the user travels over it.

I like the look of this form/function. Just one quick question, I noticed in your example you have two paragraphs in your memo field that you are editing. I can not figure out how you managed to do that. This is something the user would also like to have available.

There are probably more out there.

Probably Ctrl+Enter ?
That is what I use.

For info, the link you've quoted wasn't June's work - that utility is by Tom van Stiphout
