    i don't believe you can display it with all the formatting and fonts and all.. but you could display the text of the RTB

    You would have to test this out, but I think you can insert the contents of a richtexbox into an Access Memo field, and have it retain its formatting (I think).

    Anyway, I know you can write the contents of a richtexbox to an Access memo field. I do that all the time.

    From there, you could run a report off of the db table.

    hack... this is true.. you can do that.. but the access report itself would not be able to parse the rich text code to make it come out formatted... as far as i have experienced at least

    You are absolutely correct Matt!!!

    In order for the formatting to be maintained, you would have to go throught the intermediary step of writing the text to a table.
