Is it at all possible to apply a Zoom feature to a Memo field that exists in
a form that is in datasheet view? Maybe users could double click on that
field which would open up another window?

Or...Is there a way to place a command buttton in datasheet view which could
open another form?

Just some wild thought I just had...wondering if it's even possible...
Thanks in advance.

In Form Design View, code the memo control's Double-click event:

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

When in Form Datasheet view, double-click on the memo field and it
will display the data in a zoom box. In Access 2002 or newer you can
select the font size of the zoom box,
or...
you can set an AutoKey macro so that it will always open at whatever
font size you have selected.

That works terrific! Thank you very much for the help!
