That's not easy. You can't do this with a simple display
of the Memo field inside an Editbox. You need to convert the
text to RTF or HTML to be able to have color-modifications
and then use corresponding controls to display RTF or
HTML.

What can be done quite easy but isn't the full solution is using
..selstart and .sellength of an Editbox to select the word found.
But with that you could only highlight one occurance.

If the searchword is "boy" you'd have to set

Edit1.selstart = at("boy",tabTable.mMemofield)
Edit1.sellength = len("boy")

Bye, Olaf.
