I created MEMO.DBF with just one field called MEMO which is a memo field. I did an APPEND BLANK to create one record. In MEMO.PRG, I have the following:
CLEAR
USE MEMO
@ 0,0 say "Memo:
@ 0,6 get MEMO
read
close all
This works fine as it displays
Memo: MEMO
with the cursor blinking under the M in the MEMO field waiting for me to do something.
Depending on the key that I press or key combo such as CTRL-PGDN, either the cursor sits there or exits to the Dot Prompt.
I installed and ran the dbase iii+ Tutorial. All of it is in ASSIST mode. It showed me how I can use Ctrl-PgDn to open the MEMO field for editing and then use Ctrl-PgUp to save. This works just fine. But when I try to do this running MEMO.PRG, the MEMO will no open up for editing.
How do I get a MEMO fleld to work inside a program?
Thanks,
Joe
