Thank you Alison. A kludge and doesn't hold the place in notes if you want to add more, but certainly a way to keep text visible for refereence. Appreciate the reply. Perhaps Peter can inspire FM to track the pointer in a future version. dan

I have a text field in a filemaker db which I am using to store notes. The text extends beyond the frame boundaries and I use scrolling to access different parts of the document. Here is the difficulty. If I scroll to read a particular position, and then select another window- either a different filemaker window or another application window, then the pointer position automatically scrolls back to the top of the document. This is a big problem if I want, instance, to see the bottom of the filemaker record while inputting into another application or into another filemaker window. How do I make filemaker maintain the "pointer" position in a field when switching applications or windows? Thanks in advance! dan
