Anyone aware of how to detect a change in the contents of a memo box on a
form?
For example, a user has left the cursor in memo box effectively locking the
record source.
I need to be able to detect that a user is still typing or if they are
paused.

Hi Geoff,

The Change event occurs for *every* keystroke while in the txtBox. You
could use that event to reset a timer or something that could eventually
move the cursor out of the memo field control. Use the Exit event of the
control to turn off the timer.
