I'm trying to use a textbox control a TextFormat of RTF. Whenever I
input text from the body of an email into this box, the line returns
disappear and I end up with one big long paragraph. For instance,
text that looks like this in an Outlook email:

"See the dog run."

"See the cat watch."

looks like this:

"See the dog run.""See the cat watch."

Any suggestions on how this can be corrected?

Thanks,
Tom S.

The "rich text" feature in Access 2007 is actually HTML, not RTF. Why they
didn't just call it HTML format I don't know. Anyway, when pasting this will
cause problems compared to real RTF third party controls used in previous
versions.

So MS realised there was something that needed fixing, and so they
half fixed it!

My understanding is that the way the rich text works in Access 2007 is
compatible with Sharepoint which is the "next big thing" they are distracted
with.

God help us... :-)
 
Thanks to all for the replies. Its evident that this is a bug. I
guess I'll stick to plain text for now.

It isn't a bug, it's the way they designed it (limited though it may be).

You can still use the ActiveX control that I suggested earlier.
