No text format selections

[Mark A. Sam]

Hello,

I added a textbox to a form and selected Rich Text as the format type. The
selection was Plain Text or Rich Text. I got a message saying something to
the effect that I should select Rich Text as the Format in the table. So I
closed the form, opened the table and there were no format selections
available for either text or memo type fields. So I opened the form again
and there are no format selections for the text box.

The other field types except attachment and hyperlink have selections
available. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you and God Bless,

Is this a local table - or linked to a backend? If it's a linked table, you
must make this change in the backend database.

John,

It's a local table, in fact the selections displayed from the textbox
intially, but after the message, it didn't show on the table field design or
textbox. I'll just add this to the list of goofy things. I just wanted
to see how the Rich Text feature worked, but I can live without it (well I
have to now).

God Bless,

Mark
