rich textbox control on a report

[Vicki]

I have a table with 2 fields:

Field DataType
CarName text
CarDescription memo

I have a form whose recordsource is set to the above
table. The form has a Textbox whose ControlSource is
CarName and a Rich Textbox whose ControlSource is
CarDescription. The Rich Textbox is programmed to handle
Bold, Italic and Bullets. The data and formatting info are
saved to the underlying table and the form always displays
the formatted data well.

When I try to make an Access report based on this same
table and use a Rich Textbox control
(ControSource=CarDescription), the data won't display at
all. Is there a correct way to use a Rich Textbox control
on an Access report so that it will display formatted data?

It looks like this is a bug in Microsoft's rich textbox control. They
suggest an alternative control in this KB Article:
