MS Access Forum / General 1 / January 2005using lebans rtf2
I have just downloaded lebans rtf2 which initially looks very interesting. Having a little trouble though in getting the RTF2 toolbar to appear on my own db although it is on the sample. I have imported the modules correctly (i think) and am able to create a RTF2 object from form design mode>active x , but cant find the toolbar. Secondly, is it possible to import text into an RTF2 memo field from say word or excel using GET EXTERNAL DATA? thanks. sh When you IMPORT the code/class modules from my sample MDB you have to: Open the Import Object dialog window Click onthe OPTIONS Button CHeck the Menus and ToolBars Check Box. This will import the RTF2 ToolBar into your MDB -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit. > I have just downloaded lebans rtf2 which initially looks very interesting. > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Unlimited download > http://www.usenetzone.com to open account Thanks for the tip - worked fine. What about importing data into a RTF2 field? Thanks.

There is no RTF2 field type. The RTF control can be bound to a standard Memo field. The RTF2 control is capable of displaying RTF marked up text contained in the Memo field. You can import the Text for your Memo field using any of the standard Text import functionality of Access. -- HTH Stephen Lebans http://www.lebans.com Access Code, Tips and Tricks Please respond only to the newsgroups so everyone can benefit. > Thanks for the tip - worked fine. > [quoted text clipped - 49 lines] > Unlimited download > http://www.usenetzone.com to open account Sorry, didn't explain myself very well... If I import text to the field from say, Word, will it display with the Word formatting, that's all. Sorry if this is stupind! SH >I do not understand your question. There is no RTF2 field type.

I tried doing the latter and just got a blank box. Is there a way round that? I have quite a large amount of data to go into the table to which the form refers (over 600 records), so cut/paste would be a nightmare - unfortunately I'm not very hot on VBA to do it programatically. Thanks for your help so far. SH. > You can copy and paste via the Clipboard. > or [quoted text clipped - 108 lines] >> Unlimited download >> http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |
