I got another system up that includes valid links directly to the issues that were missing so we are good to run.

I was thinking that with your method of adding the note to the memo... I could possibly incorporate that process directly into the cmdAddRec_Click method. Do the split left-right if the date was not the latest date. otherwise it adds it directly to the memo when the note is added. Then there would be no reason to update the entire memo at once.
