In the example template I am showing here, a dialogue window will automatically start on opening: As soon as you enter some stuff in the dialogue window and you click OK the text fields in the memo template will be filled in: At the same time, a new Tab  + Button will appear at the left hand side: Adjust Memo Fields . As you click this button, the dialogue window will appear again, filled in this time: When you are in the right mood, you can go on forever. If you are interested, you can download the template with the legacy fields  memo.dotm here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B7HgkOwFZtdZVmhRQUZFM28yc1U&usp=sharing or the new one with the content controls: memonieuw.dotm

Normally you can not filter on a memo field in Crystal Reports. But there is a workaround. Create a parameter parFILTER , type STRING Create a Formula Field and call it frmFILTER In that Formula Field put a formula like this: { table . memofieldname } like "*" & {? parFILTER } & "*"  Then filter on this Formula Field  Pick: IS TRUE The memo field now will be filterd by the text given in the parameter parFILTER .
