rtf in reports

I am trying to use an RTF control in a report so I can display a memo field
that contains RTF encoded text. I can't get it to work. I keep getting
error 2763, "Property cannot be set". Why is this a problem, and is there a
workaround?
 
From what event are you trying to set the property?

I'm trying to set the control source of the control to the field in the
dataset the report is linked to, so it should display whenever opened.

Alternately, I've tried creating a text box linked to the field that does
accurately receive the rtf data; then when the form is opened, having code
run that sets the value property of the rtf control with the value of the
text box. None of the events (Open, Load, Activate, or Current) that I tie
this code to works. Same error.

Interestingly, I've also found that in my form, where I have the rtf control
to save the information to the database, only works when I have the form
come up as a dialog from another form. It won't display the formatted rtf
if I open the form directly.
 
Sorry. I got it. The data didn't display because somewhere in my testing
the rtf text got inadvertantly overwritten, so there was nothing to show.
It's working now.
