RTF2 Property is read-only

[Guest]

I'm receiving a strange error message when updating the rtfText property on a RTF2 control. The error reports "RTF2 - Property is read-only".

The strange thing is that the property does in fact get updated correctly. The error is not being picked up by my error trapping so I can't work around it that way.

Any ideas how to prevent the error?

What event are you updating this prop from?
Are you using the latest verison of the control?

The control is unbound and if viewed immediately prior to the update reads "RTF2 Control Design View Window".

The syntax is as follows:

MyRTF.rtfText = rscondcontrol.rtf_notes

I'm using version 1.8 (file version 1.0.0.6). Is version 2 available yet?

Many Thanks

Rob can you send me your MDB with exact instructions to duplicate this
error?

The update is part of a function called from the Form-Open event.

ActiveX controls( and even bound Access controls) are not fully
instantiated during the Form's Open event. Just move your code into the
Form's Load event.

Moving it into the Form Load event has done the trick.

Thanks Stephen.
