Hello
I'm sure I do something wrong, but I don't know what ...
In Form 1 I painted the RTF2 control and bound it to a memo field. Entering and changing data therein works fine.
Now, based on some space limitations, I want to reduce the control's size and add a zoom button nearby, which opens Form2 with an unbound RTF2 control.
What I want is simple.
- Having still the possibility to see, enter and update text in RFT2 on Form1
- Activating the Zoom button to transfer all current data from the bound RTF2 in Form 1 to the unbound RTF2 in Form2
- See, enter and change data in RTF2 in Form2
- Accept on Form2 transfers data back to RTF2 in Form1
- Only in Form1 the data are stored in DB.
What I did:
in Form 1, cmdZoomButton_C lick():
--snip--
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", , , , , acDialog, me!rtfField
--snip--
in Form2, Form_Open
--snip--
Me!rtfDummyFiel d = Me.OpenArgs
--snip--
Error: The setting you entered isn't valid for this property!
Currently I'm Lost.
Anyone an idea ?
Thx in advance
Wolfgang

Your OpenArgs is in the wrong event procedure.
This is behind a command button on your input form
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "YourInputFormN ame"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , , , , Me.YourTextCont rol
This is in the On Load event of the second form.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.YourTextCont rol = Me.OpenArgs
End Sub
Your OpenArgs is in the wrong event procedure.
...
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.YourTextCont rol = Me.OpenArgs
End Sub
Sounds nice.
Unfortunatly it doesn't work.
Same error message as in the Form_Open event.

What code do you have in the On Open event?
What code do you have in the On Open event?
-
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) ' zoom form
-
End Sub
-
-
Private Sub Form_Load() ' zoom form
-
' assign open arguments to fields
-
Me.rtfComment = Me.OpenArgs
-
End Sub
-
just moved the content from Form_Open to Form_Load. That's all.
And the zoom form is quite simple.
Just a big RTF2 control, unbound, in the Detail area and an accept button in the footer. That's it.
But I got the error in the open Arguments assignment.

I'm using Stephen Lebans' RTF2 control in a report, and have discovered what

I have a lot of non-Western language (Chinese) text in my RTF field, and

when I use the code provided in the sample report on the lebans.com site. It

I now need to try to output one of Stephen Lebans' RTF2 controls on the

Is there a way to span a report over multiple pages. I think you could

I am using the RTF2 activeX control from Stephen Leban's website and
it works really well when there is one memo field. However, I cannot
get it to work with multiple memo fields (I have 4). I saw the code
for multiple memo fields and am trying to use it but not having any
luck. My RTF controls on the form just show "RTF2 Control Design View
Window". Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I'm trying to use Stephen Leban's RTF2 ActiveX control in an access
database with unicode data. In VB, I pass the text value directly from
the text box control in a form to the rtf2 control.
rttextbox.plaintext = forms!form1.textbox
When I step through the debugger, the value getting passed for unicode
characters are ?.

I have an unbound RTF2 control in an Access 2003 form which I set to
show either unformatted text or else text with words and sentences
highlighted. I do this by setting the PlainText property, getting back
the rtfText and then adding the highlighting strings and resetting
rtfText as below:
sqry = "Select * from TextContent where FileID = " & ID
Set rs = CurrentDb().OpenRecordset(sqry, dbOpenSnapshot)
With rtfUnformatted
..rtfText = ""

Hi guys...
Well once again I'm in a dilemma. Currently I have a RTF2 object in
Access that is linked to a memo field in a table, the reason for this
is so that I can have bullets and numbers in the field. The problem is
however that the memo field has pritty much all the ActiveX coding in
it to make the RTF2 field appear the way we assigned it. Now the main
idea was to reference the content of the RTF2 field the way it appears
in the...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
