Word-like control
Hello,
I have a form which is supposed to allow the user to enter text into a text box just as if it were Word - with font, colour, size options, etc... I can't find a way to do this by just adding a control to the Form, is this possible to do programatically? Also, how would I save and display data that contains formatting information from such a box? Is a memo field sufficient or should I use a binary field? I'm using Access 2003. Thanks..!

There is an ActiveX RTF control in Access, but if Stephen Lebans has taken
the time to write his own, it's probably a lot more user friendly than the native Access one. Douglas J.

Answers/posts based on Access 2000 Message posted viahttp://www.accessmonster.com I couldn't find the ActiveX control for RTF, but the Stephen Lebans control worked fine so I guess it doesn't matter now. Thanks!
