Lebans Rich Text Control LDB/Locking Problem

Hello,

I'm experimenting with Stephen Lebans' Rich Text Control for doing RTF
data entry into a memo field.

I imported the table, form, toobar, and modules from the A2k version
into an A2k3 DB. Then I edited a sample table record using the sample
form provided, then closed Access.

Then I could not re-open the MDB containing these items, nor any other
item. I observed that the LDB file is not going away, and that Access
has to be closed with the Task Manager.

The sample form's RTF2 control is bound to a text

I have to have the RTF control bound to a memo field in a table like in
Mr. Lebans' example, and I saw Stephen's post/suggestion about using an
unbound field.

Is there a way I can make the MDB etc. work properly so the LDB file
goes away on close like it is supposed to do??

If a form field is unbound, how do I get its contents into the correct
table record/field??

Thank you, Tom

You need to set a Reference to the RT2 Library instead of just importing a
Form containing the RTF2 control. Other than that, I have never heard of
this issue before. Try deleting the RTF2 control, edit the Memo field and
see if the issue still exists.

Hello, I had already set a reference to RTF2, everything worked, etc.,
it was simply that after editing in the sample form etc. that the LDB
would not go away.

I found a different solution though.

I took Stephen Lebans' sample database, imported all my forms, tables,
etc. etc. into it, tried editing things again, and the ldb problem went
away, I think for good. So we still don't know what caused it, but this
was my particular cure.

Now I hope my end users will like it.

Thank you, Tom

I'm using Stephen Lebans' RTF2 control in a report, and have discovered what may be a slight bug in it. I have a lot of non-Western language (Chinese) text in my RTF field, and such records get sized strangely using the .RTFHeight property of the control. Specifically, lines of text get cut off the bottom of the control when I use the code provided in the sample report on the lebans.com site. It seems that when there is Chinese text,...

Hi, I'm using Stephen Lebans RTF control in an unbound Access 2000 form. To populate the control I simply set the RTFtext property to the value of the memo field in the database containing the RTF text. When my form opens I get a very unhelpful message that tells me: Property is read only. However, the RTF control is populated correctly and each record has data. I believe this is an issue with how Access puts the control onto the...

I use the Lebans calendar control and love it; the only thing is that it commonly starts out at the year 1899 rather than the current year. Is there a way to specifically tell it to start at the current date instead? Note: it does this fine if I'm using it in the context of a form's text box, but I'm trying to use it on a module which is called, whereby the date chosen is the date plugged into a variable. Everytime after I reset the...

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.

Secondly, is it possible to import text into an RTF2 memo field from say word or excel using GET EXTERNAL...

I have Stephen Lebans' RichText control on a subform, which is bound to a memo field. The only editable control on this subform is the rich text control for the memo field. When the main form opens, the first record of the subform cannot be typed into. The only way to fix this is to page to the next record, then page back to the first record, then one can type into the rich text control to

Hi Steve, I hope you can help me with this. In Access 97, I'm getting the following error.

Run Setup to reinstall Microsoft Access or, if you're familiar with the settings in the Registry, try to correct them yourself. etc. I've looked at this:

What I have seen so far online and in Access 2007 help seems to confirm the above. But that (or at least (b)) seems incredible that it...
