Assign control source to popup form

I have a main form that contains multiple memo type text boxes. I'd like to
be able to double click on one of the text boxes and have a popup form open
with a large text box that then gets it's source from the main forms text box,
so that users can view all or most of the text without having to use the
scroll bar. The data also needs to be updatable.

I'm having trouble figuring this out...I'm sure it's simple, but it's eluding
me

Try pressing Shift+F2 while in your memo field.

Or code its DblClick event:

Private Sub txtYourMemoField_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

RunCommand acCmdZoomBox

End Sub

Thanks. I did try that, but the zoom box was a little too limited since these
memo fields tend to have quite a bit of data in them. I did finally figure
out a way to open a custom zoom form that fit my needs.
