Hi,

This is probably an easy question, with hopefully an easy answer. We have a
third party billing system that has been written in access 2000. I want to
change one of the fields so that the text can be formatted with tabs etc.
(This is the description o the invoices that the access database produces)

Therefore, how do I bind a RT control such as RTF2 to the field in both the
form and report?

Anton.

The very same way you would bind a TextBox control to a data source.

Open the Form or Report in design view
From the Insert Menu select ActiveX controls
Scroll Down to the RTF2 control. Select it and click on OK
Right Click on the RTF2 ActiveX control
Select Properties from the popup Menu
Select the Data TAB
Set the Control Source to one of the available choices or a caculated
expression
