Hi Jane,
I think what he wants is a lookup table with some memo field that autofills a memo field. See scenario below:
Lookup Table

Field1 -> Subject

Field2 -> Memo text
Main Table

Field1 -> Subject (lookup from table above)

Notes -> memo text (from field2 of lookup table)
Hi srikanth,
And for the input limit to 150 characters, visit this link http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cut160.shtml for some inspiration.
