Re: Formatting Text on character & memo fields

One way would be to use the Microsoft RTF control. You place this on a form
and bind it to a memo field, then formatted RTF text can be stored in the
memo field. In order for this to work on reports, you would need a report
tool that can interpret RTF, such as Crystal reports.

Hello,

I am using VFP 6.0 - service pack 5.

I am looking for a way to format specific text that has been stored in or
will be stored in character or memo fields.

For Example;
I want to store "This is a line of text in which <this> word is in bold
and <this> word is underlined" into a character or memo field in my
database.

I would then like to take the text from the database field and print it
out using a report, with the appropriate text in bold or underlined etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Mark Nixon
