Susan, <<Are they willing to upgrade to 2007?>> There is nothing in place as of yet, so that would not be a problem. <<I haven't checked it out myself, but there's supposed to be a new and improved RTF control in 2007>> Was aware of that, but haven't found any docs on it as yet. I'll have to install 2007 and see what it's like. I'll let you know what its like Thanks, Jim. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Susan Harkins Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 1:47 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] RTF control for Access? Are they willing to upgrade to 2007? I haven't checked it out myself, but there's supposed to be a new and improved RTF control in 2007 -- might be worth looking into. Susan H. 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...
