Hi Jim, Somewhere I read that the memo field in Access 2007 has formatting capabilities - perhaps like the FMS Memo control. Good Luck!

All, Has anyone had good success with any of the RTF controls out there for Access? In the past, I've always been loath to use any non-native controls because of the lack of functionality in Access's Active-X interface. I've gotten the gig with the case management thing and I'm going to need a RTF control that can do the following: 1. Different fonts and sizes. 2. Different font colors. 3. Ability to bold and italicize. 4. Ability to high light in color. 5. Ability to spell check 6. Ability to insert pre-defined text (ala AutoCorrect, type a few characters and a string is inserted in place of). The last three items are critical and I cannot do without them. I really don't want to use Word via OLE because of the overhead. I have checked out FMS, inc's RTF control, but it doesn't do #6 from what I can see. Thoughts, comments, recommendations welcome... TIA, Jim. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
