Showing Rich Text in Reports

M

Mark Randall

Hi all

I am storing Rich Text in a memo field in my database.
So, the text "Hello World" is stored as
"{\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}} Hello World \par
}"

On a form, I am using the Microsoft Rich Textbox Control, version 6.0,
bound to the field above. This works as expected and is very effective.

However, when I try the same on a report, it does not work so well.
I made a new report, set the RecordSource to the table above, added a new
Microsoft Rich Textbox Control, version 6.0,and set the control source as
above. When I then open the report, I get the error message "Property
cannot be set" The report then opens, but leaves the rich text control
out.

Any ideas? I am using MS Office 2003 with Win XP pro if that is important.

Thanks,
Mark Randall
