Hi. Have installed MySql-Front version 2.5.

I'm running mysql-front 2.5 on windows 98.

Working with MEMO fields (field type = text).

If I hit the Tools-References menu I can set "Show native field contents for Text and BLOB-fields" to true.

This make it able for me to see content in MEMO fields.
But only as one line.... Not very handy when/if I want to update the field and it is multiple lines with linebreaks.

If I turn the Tools-References "Show native...." to off then I just see "(MEMO)" instead of the actual BLOB content for each field.

If I right-mouse-click on the datafield (above (MEMO)) then I see one option showing "Edit Memo/BLOB".
But if I select this option then nothing happens.
This option is not available if "Show native...." is set to true.

Why have such a option if it is not for beeing of practical use???
Is there a setting somewhere that make it active ???

I cannot figure out how to edit MEMO fields. Anybody with a solution?

Best

    I have the same issue with MyPHPAdmin, and what I have had to do is to write a query to update the entire field. I think that because a BLOB is binary data.

    Just my .02
