Revised Comments without Deleting existing Comment data

[kfschaefer]

I need help with the attached code to prevent duplicate entry of data within a Comment field(Memo). I need to validate if certain data exists within the Comments, if so only modify the necessary data and not duplicate the data.

The problem I am having in my code is with the replacement of the field("REQ EMO") data within the comment field, it is currently duplicate the data instead of updating it. See the attached image for illustrating my point.

See '>>>>>>>>>>> in code for problem area.
