Formatting in a memo field

[John M]

Hi,

Students reports are produced in an Access databse written by myself
(amateur ... but it does seem to work!) Comments are written into a memo
field. Many staff prefer to do this bit at home and cut and paste from
word. This works fine, but some have decided to include bullet points etc,
which dont appear as bullet points. Can this be overcome?

Thanks in advance

The problem is the text box in Access. It does not support formatted text.

You could try downloading a rich text box such as the one Stephen Lebans
provides at:
