Can anyone give me a bit more info on how to use the RTF control. I have
downloaded the sample databases from Mr. Leban's website, but with the
exception of coding comments in the modules, there is little information
about how to make use of it.

Do I have to enter all the font coding info into the memo field that is the
source for the RTF control? If so, I don't fully understand the purpose of
the toolbar. There doesn't seem to be any point of "contact" between the
user and the text except the table, and if that is the only place the coding
can be altered, the tool bar doesn't seem to be available for use. I have
posted several questions about this, but have received no reply posts. His
website requests no email directly, but welcomes posts to the discussion
group.

Roy I answered your original post the other day. If you do not know how
to use your NG reader then you should learn how to use GoogleGroups. It
is an invaluable tool.

Here is my reply to your original post.

Yes you bind the control to a Memo field in your table. Create a Form
with the RTF2 control bound to your Memo field. In Form view add/modify
the fields contents as desired.

In summary, think of the RTF2 control as a standard Access TextBox
control with extra features. An Access TextBox control requires a
Control Source as does the RTF2 control. You add/modify data with the
standard TextBox control, bound to a field in your table, in Form
view...ditto for the RTF2 control.

Post back with any other issues you run into.
