How do I set a form so a memo field will be in memoView mode upon arrive? The users need to use the tab key and enter key to enter datal. shift f2 will do it manually but I want to do it with object pal or have it default to memoView.

Put this in the arrive event of the field:

Code: 
doDefault
self.action(EditEnterMemoView)

One caveat. In version 8 I have had problems with tab characters in memo fields causing GPF errors during print jobs. The tab characters are the only common element when this happens, so I attribute this infrequent problem to them. Just something to keep in mind.
