Formatting report data

V

Vicki

I have a table with the following 2 fields:

Field Data Type
CarName text
CarDescription memo

I have a form whose recordsource is the above table. The
form has a Textbox whose Control Source is CarName and a
Rich Textbox whose Control Source is CarDescription. I've
programmed the Rich Textbox to format Italic, Bold and
Bullets. When I use it, the data is saved along with the
formatting info to the underlying memo field and the form
continues to display the formatted data correctly after it
has been saved.

When I try to display this data on an Access report by
setting the report's recordsource to the same table,
placing a Rich Textbox on the report and setting its
Control Source property to CarDescription, nothing
happens. Is this control just not suitable for a report or
is there a trick to getting it to display formatted data?

Thanks for any help on this.
