Dear Gustav et al This problem has been unsolved for ages, I have turned my attention to it again. It seems to have been fixed by simply copying the memo field contents into a new memo field (same table) and addressing this new memo field instead. Many memo records apparently locked are again free to be saved(!) The old memos are then removed. I am guessing but something was corrupt in the page locking of some of the memo records, that a database repair would not fix... Hope this helps someone else one day....

Hi David I have a client fighting with this too. Could you be a little more specific on your solution, please? What are you refreshing and when? Which of the advices mentioned in the forum discussion did you implement? As I read it, you update (save) the record at the BeforeUpdate event of the memo field, then Cancel the update and refresh (requery?) the record? /gustav > Thanks John, > That gave me enough to resolve it. > Also Ref http://www.utteraccess.com/forums/access/access605200.html > For anyone else simply doing a refresh unlocks it! > Kind Regards > David > From: John W.
