predefined texts

is there a way to enter texts in a combo box or other,so whenever u want one of these texts you can automatically choose it
PS: i already tried it in a combo box but it didn't work cause the max # of letters is 255,so i had to change it's format to MEMO.
thank you.........

Would you care to be a little more specific?

I can see a way of doing what I think you want and you could still use a combo box and beat the 255 character limit.

If you make a table with two fields, one being a text field and the other being a memo field. The text field could be a brief description of what is going to be in the memo field.

Make your combo binding the column that the memo is in but also having the text field in it. Set the column width for the column with the memo in it to 0. That way the text field will show but the memo will not. That should beat the 255 limit. If that still causes problems though there is another way with the same table structure plus and ID field that you can do a DLookup on the value of the combo box.

If these ideas need more explaination email me.
