MS RTE gives extra line feeds when text saved.

1 New Member
Around December 2008 our MS Access 2003 application started inserting extra line feeds everytime the RTF edit window was opened and saved. It was working fine up to that time. We are using the MS richtx32.ocx rich text box control. We open a form with a rich text control and edit the text. When the text is saved back to the database it adds extra line feeds after each line feed. If the text is opened for editing again it adds more line feeds.

I suggest either avoiding that add-in if it doesn't suit your requirements, or put in some code that replaces these known invalid strings with ones you prefer.

I very much doubt you can fix this behaviour in the add-in itself.

Anytime I see Access 2003 and something going awry in the way things are displayed, I immediately think of the SP3 service pack! SP3 introduced a number of bugs, many of them dealing with the GUI. Because relatively few developers find the need to use RTF, there could easily be a bug involving it that has gone unreported to date. IF the offending machine(s) do, indeed, have SP3 installed, you might want to try installing the hotfix for ir.

Allen Browne reviews the more common bugs associated with SP3 and gives a link to the hotfix at this site:

When users fill out my text area field, there is a chance that there will be no line feeds or cariage returns or spaces and just one really long word. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR PROBLEM! What I am trying to do is force a vbCrLf if a string is long than 80 characters in a row. So if a string is a total of 500 characters with no line feeds, spaces, or returns, I want to force a vbCrLf every 80 characters so that is doesn't overflow my preview text...

I have a C# app that I am writing which is going to insert text into a table, which is then picked up by another program and emailed. On the text version of the email (when the user doesn't have html email), I need to put tabs in between columns of data and then line feeds after each row. How can I do this? Right now I'm doing "\t" for tab and "\r\n" for line feed, but when I generate the text, those characters actually come out in the...

Hello. I just converted some data to to sql2000 into a TEXT type field. I needed to remove all tabs from the data and now want to remove extra lines too. As we know, SQL2000's replace function does not work on TEXT types. So I've written a simple asp.net program (with very high timeouts) that allows me to replace strings in these very large Text fields. I loop through the table and am able to replace any strings I want except I can't...

Hello, I read data from a DB field where a line feed ("\n") is in. I put this data as text to a label web control. In the HTML page the line feeds are shown as real line feeds in the HTML source. But in the label itself on the page in the browser the line feeds are ignored. How can I change the line feeds to HTML syntax (<br/>)?

I am using PostBuild events in a C# project to run some tasks, but only when in release configuration mode. The build events run perfectly as expected when run.

Guess what, it is not the post-build event i saved. Instead all the carriage returns are replaced with...

I added "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-Type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" as one of the parameters in the mail( ) function to replace the "Nobody" with a real From: email. That worked. But if I attempt to add any other terms, such as the sender's name and location, the MIME parameter above seems to ignore the "\n" line feeds and put the these other terms ahead of the mail message. Here's my code:

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

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
