Hello,
I understand the inconvenience you have encountered. However the Rich
TextBox control is not supported in Access 2003, due to security
consideration. For additional information, please read the following
articles:
828089 INFO: Migrating from Microsoft Office XP Developer
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=828089
249150 PRB: Microsoft Rich TextBox Control Does Not Work in Internet
Explorer
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=249150
Here are some workarounds for this issue at present:
1. Give up format rtf with the profit of a more recent format: HTML. You
could then use, for example, control ActiveX "WebBrowser control" to post
the text formatted in HTML.
2. Use a third party Rich Text control, such as FMS RTF control or this
RTF2 control from http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm
3. Change the registry to lower the ActiveX security. This would not be
recommended as it may cause security issues. Here are the steps if you
want to test this:
A). Click the Start/Open, type "Regedit" in the Open box.
B). In left pane of the Registry window, locate the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX
Compatibility\{3B7C8860-D78F-101B-B9B5-04021C009402}
C). In the right pane of the Registry window, locate the "Compatibility
Flags", check the value of it.
D). If it is 400, change it to 000.
E). Open your database and open the form in design view.
F). Delete the original rtf1 rich text control from the form.
G). Add a new Microsoft Rich Text control in the form and still name it as
"rtf1".
H). Save the database and re-run the forms.
I hope the information is helpful.

fell in. I need selprint, sellength and selstrikethru. Didn't find these
properties in RTF2. Does anyone have any info on other ActiveX Rich Text
objects that could help me? Thanks!
Dan Posey said:Stephen,
Thanks for the very fast response! I had to change the registry to get
into
production, however, I would like to use your RTF2 control. I will start
looking for code samples that will allow me to do something like
selStrikethru, selPrint and SelLength. Again thanks for your help! Dan
