Using Rich Text formating with InfoPath

S

ssaral

Hi,

I'm currently building an InfoPath form that reads/writes from a database
and was interested in using Rich Text Fields. I was told that it is not
possible to directly bind a rich-text box to a field from a SQL database but
I have
heard people using ADO to overcome this problem. Could somebody explain this
in more detail and provide some sample code on how to do it.

Thanks, ssaral

Hi ssaral,

Currently I'd suggest please use the web service to bind the infopath
richtext control to one element. You could define one web service and then
obtain the data from the database in this web serivce. Then the infopath
could only need to retrieve the information from the web service.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further question on this
issue.
