Access Table not accepts RTF Formatted text.

All,
I'm trained to figure out a simple example of connecting to a database.
unfortunately I'm running into problems. I'm using Access 2007 as my back
end database (because I'm familiar with Access and don't want to add the
complexity of a SQL database that I have never worked with before) while I'm
learning C#.

I have a memo field in an Access Table that accepts RTF Formatted text (this
field works perfectly in Access). When I past the text into the field on my
form, the text looks as it should, for test purposes I'm using C# code, in
the example below private & null would be blue and IContainer would be light
Blue:

private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null;


.... however when I navigate away from the row all font information is lost?
If anyone has any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance. - CES

I haven't played with this but just a thought, I remember reading this is
stored as HTML. I remember,

again this might be a hint.
