I have followed several threads about the RTF control from Mr. Leban. I
think it may help with some of my problems, but I do not understand at all
how it works. I have downloaded the sample databases, imported the Modules,
get the rtf control tool bar, etc. but do not understand how to actually use
the control. Do I use a memo field as a source, or do I have to type the
info and format it in the resulting report??? I am sorry if I seem dense,
but there are no notes whatsoever on the website indicating the use of this
control, just the modules and the sample which proves it works. I truly
would appreciate some pointers on how to use it.
 
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.
