Hi Anders & anyone else that can help,
I have tried a memo field and a general field and when I go to preview,
I get the error
"OLE error code 0x8004006d: Object doesn't support lViewObject interface."
When using a general field and when using a memo field get:
Field must be a general field.
I have the rtf text in both fields and need some help with making
the report form preview and print the rich text.
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon
