MS RTE gives extra line feeds when text saved.

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:
