Hello

Hope this be the correct group.

Im using a form to change values to a table (Firebird)
When dataset is in edit mode I allow user to create  another form (in fact I show a button which creates the new form)containing a DBMemo. Datasource and Datafield are set in runtime. (because I want to use this form in other forms)

The problem is that it can't let user to change value to field. (this field is a varchar)

This happens just when table changes to edit BEFORE to create my second form. If it is created before, DBMemo works fine.

If I add a DBEdit to my second form it works fine. In fact I could use this component but it works just for 1 line. Text could use several lines.

I tried to recreate the problem using paradox and access but they works well.

What can I do? Is it correct to use a DBMemo with varchars? If not, how could I show severals lines with a DBEdit?

Hope to have been clear enough.

Thanks in advance!!!

There's probably an answer that would let you use a TDBMemo here, but it
would be even easier for this small dialog to us a TMemo (i.e. non-data-
aware) and when the user clicks OK on the dialog just assign the memo text
to the field, e.g.

  Query1.FieldByName('MyVarCharField').AsString := Memo1.Lines.Text;
