Access 2007 Rich Text Question

Hi All

In the plan text version of a Memo field you can easily add a date by
pressing Ctrl+Colon which makes life easy for the end user.

However, if the Memo field is set to the Rich Text Property this no
longer works. Or am I missing something?

I don't know, but it's easy enough to write the code yourself. You can
create an AutoKeys macro to listen for keystrokes, call your public
function, and have it add text if the current control is a memo field.

Thanks Tom

I would have missed that functionality

How will Access fair in a year? Two years? .... The new version of Access seems to service non programmers as a wizard interface to quickly create databases via a fancy wizard. Furthermore, why would you even continue to use Access as a backend when you have a much superior option in SQL express? What about as a future front-end development tool? Let's get serious. Microsoft continues to publish numerous articles and videos on how you...

If you are looking for opinon on what's useful in Access 2007, there's a new article at: http://allenbrowne.com/Access2007.html Covers what's good (useful features), what's mixed (good and bad), what's gone (features removed), what's fixed (old issues solved), what's broken (new bugs), configuration, compatibility, should you buy, and links. It is opinion, so you may disagree, but hopefully it's an informative summary.

I need to implement a rich text box in an MDB file for a user base that consists of Access 2000 and Access 2002. Unfortunately, I'm using Access 2003 on my development machine. My understanding is that because of security issues, the Microsoft Rich Textbox Control doesn't work in Access 2003. Thus, I'm left with 3 options: 1) Downgrade my development machine to Access 2002 (if I could even find a copy somewhere). 2) Upgrade all...

Just found out something interesting with Access 2007... In table design, if you set a memo field to the new rich text option, and put that control on a form, set the control to rich text, you can only use the text formatting menus IF the control is on a parent form! If the control is placed on a form that is a subform, the mini format toolbar, and the access toolbar will not work! However, if you place the control on a self-contained...

Just found out that the Microsoft Rich Textbox does not support full text justification, since it's based on Version 1.0 of the RichEdit Window Class, and full text justification is only available in versions 3.0 or later of the class. However, also just found out that the new Rich Text property in Access 2007 ALSO does not support full text justification! This seems incredible, that MS would create a brand new application, and not...

I posted a few days ago that it seems to me that the Access 2007 rich text feature does not support: a) full text justification; b) programmatic manipulation. I was hoping that someone might know one way or the other whether that was true or not, or could point me to an article or help text that would. 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...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
