Show memofield in seperate form

[Krechting]

Hi all,

I have a asp-page that shows all data from one record in my database.
Every record also has a memo-field but since there's so much text in
it I wanted to have a button on my form that will open a seperate form
containing the memo-field. So a user can always decide if he wants to
view the memo or not.

In my SQL I use WHERE name= 'name'"
Do I need that as well to show the memofield in a seperate form?

Regards,

If "name" is a uniwue key to the table the contains "memofield" then yes.


Have you thought of displaying "memofield" inside a <textarea>?

It shouldn't take much screen real estate;
the user can scroll to see all of the data; and
the user won't have to swicth pages to see related data.

And for reference here is an example using a textarea:

<textarea name="CustNote" cols="35" rows="2" wrap="virtual"><%= CustNote
%></textarea>
