Hi all,
Working on a pretty fancy access report that prints out a schedule of events in a two-column format, I've stumbled across the need for displaying formatted text into a field. Since I'm using Access 2000, it lacks the ability to do this natively, so I was wondering if anyone had a solution.
I've made use of one of the controls of Lebans.com (TextWidthHeigh t one, rather spiffy), but it seems the RTF display controls there are for forms more than Reports (and I'm hoping to find a non-ActiveX one too). Doesn't look like anything new has been updated there in at least a year (but I admit, I didn't check every single link either).
Pretty much, the report just needs to display the formatted data in a fixed-width/height control (so getting that AutoTextSize ability to work is needed; dunno if it's integratable or not with an RTF display control or Image control). For editing, I plan on constructing a Form to allow tweaking of the data (which itself will be imported from a CSV file generated by our master database system). Formatting, of course, being rather simple...usuall y just bold and italics support.
Anyone got any ideas on how to approach that, or know if Lebans has updated stuff at another site or something? (Not sure if he still lurks here or not).
Thanks for any tips or info!

Hi,
I have a report based on a query. The query grabs a memo field from
my main table, yet when I display the memo field in the report it
truncates the memo field (the field needs to hold more than 255
characters). The table holds all the memo text, but the query seems
to truncate the memo field to 255 chars?
This seems like there should be a relatively easy fix, but I can't
seem to find it.

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to parse/format a memo field within a report.
The Access 2000 database (application) has an equipment table that
holds a memo field. Within the report, the memo field is printed within
the detailed area. The problem is, the apllication is not setup
properly, thus the users are entering data within the memo field as:
location1 1/1/2005 1/1/2006

Hi,
I have gone throught the group and Microsoft's online help and have
seen many suggestions but I am still seeking clarity:
1. I have an excel spreadsheet. Column A contains text that may be
greater than 255 characters.
2. I have an access database. I link (not import) to the contents of
the excel spreadsheet. In the design view in access, Column A has the
data type "memo".

I have a memo field that is printed using Access Reports. Various fields from this table are used to fill in the heading and the body of the report uses that memo field.
I now need to place some CR's & LF's into this memo so that the report is easy to read. I know that I can place the CR's into the ASCII text file before I import, but LF's I cannot because that affects the number of records loaded. I placed the characters <crlf> to indicate...

I am using Access 2003. I have a memo field that I have put into a
report. My problem is that the report will only show a specific
amount of characters in the report. It does not display the entire
field. I have checked the properties and they are set to memo so what
is happening here? I think it is happening in more than one field but
I have only been able to identify or replicate the problem in one
field.
Thanks

I am using Access 2003 (on WinXP) to read from an Oracle db, where there is a table with a CLOB which is a variable-size text field. In the 'linked table' which is created in the Tables panel of Access, the CLOB becomes a Memo field. I need to create a report that displays the data from this CLOB in the correct format. The data in the CLOB contains any number of chr(13), i.e. Carriage Returns, without LF, to separate lines of data that are...

I have a report that I run every quarter. When I opened it this
quarter, one of the subreports is not displaying. No error message -
just nothing displays where the subreport data should be. If you run
the subreport on its own, it displays fine. It just won't display on
the main report. I tried deleting and readding the subreport. No luck.
There are other subreports on the main one and they are acting fine.
Any ideas? (Using Access 2000)....
