Hello all Can anyone point me to some good examples of using rich text boxes? Then have the result viewable on a report? What I want is for the user to create a standard welcome letter for any new customers added to the dB EG I Want the user to be able to do a basic kind of merge, something like... Hi <<CustomerFirstName>> Welcome to the mailing list for <<ProductLine>>. We here at all MsDatabasesR4U are happy to have you aboard. And have say...the word "MsDatabasesR4U" in bold for example I have code for getting data into the tags eg <<ContactFirstName>> and <<ProductLine>> But what I want is the ability for my data entry people to create such text in some sort of RTBox bound to a memo field somewhere in a table. Then produce a report bound to the same memo field and have the same formatting eg "MsDatabasesR4U" in bold - on this report with my data filling in the tags. Sorry for the long post Any suggestions or pointers? Many thanks in advance Darren
