How do I append a record that contains a memo field as one of its
fields?  In other words, I want the user's input (typed into a regular
TMemo) put into the Memo field of the record as the record is
appended.

Thank you,

Larry,
AFAIK, you can't do it as part of an "AppendRecord", you have to do it
in a separate statement where you use "Assign" and the TMemo's Strings
property like this:

ttTable.FieldByName('MEMO').Assign(TMemo.Strings);

So, you would either use the Table's Append method and set the values
of each of the fields individually and then post the append, or you
could AppendRecord will all of the field values except the memo, then
edit the record, assign the memo, and post the record.

I hope this helps!
