Inserting rich text into an MS Access memo field.

Hi, I'm desperately trying to figure out how to take rich-formatted text from
a rich text box and store it in a memo field (or any other type of field!) in
an Access database.

Can anyone help?? Cheers :)

Hi Ben

The Memo field can be used as a text field. To put the rich-formatted text
into memo field, you have to get the rich text first. Use RichTextBox.Rtf
to get it. It is a string and then you can create a OleDbCommand with
parameter to do the insertion. The memo field is mapped to
OleDbType.LongV arWChar. You can use it as the Parameter type.

You can check the following link for more information about parameters.

Hi folks, I have an Access 2000 db with a memo field. Into the memo field I put text with bold attributes, URL etc etc What I need to to is converting the rich text contained into the memo field in plain text. That's because I truncate the string text but if, when I truncate it there's a rich tag the code following the truncated string is corrupted. Don't know if it's clear enough.

I want to create two buttons on a form. One would allow the user to Copy the contents of the current records memo field, the other would allow them to print. I set up a report based on the memo field, and it works. But, it seems wrong since I had to create a huge text box to accommodate memo fields with a lot of text. Thanks for any help, ShyGuy

Hello, I'm experimenting with Stephen Lebans' Rich Text Control for doing RTF data entry into a memo field. I imported the table, form, toobar, and modules from the A2k version into an A2k3 DB. Then I edited a sample table record using the sample form provided, then closed Access. Then I could not re-open the MDB containing these items, nor any other

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? Bob

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...

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...

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

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
