Using rtf-control in a Access-Report

[Michael Breitsameter]

It is possible to use a microsoft.richtextbox.control.v6 bound to a
memofield in a Access-form to show rtf-formatted text. But it is not easy to
use this control in an Access-report. The first problem is that it can't be
bound to a memo-field in that simple way as it can be bound in a form. Does
someone know how can rtf-text be printed in a Access-reported ?

I had to laugh a few years ago when I was preparing a presentation to give to our local Access
User group for FMS's Total Access Memo control. I came upon the following KB article:

ACC2000: Contents of Rich TextBox Control Not Viewable in Report
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=212733

Check out the Resolution section!

You might also try Stephen Lebans Rich text control. I don't have any experience with his
control, but you can download it for free: http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm
