Crystal Reports 9: Add HTML Interpreted Text Object To A Formula

My report has data in HTML format.  I have pulled the data into a Text Object and applied the HTML Text Interpretation to it.

My problem is that I don't want to display the individual fields, but rather the formula that calls these interpreted fields.  When the database field name in the report is called, the code for the HTML is returned.  I have placed the interpreted field on the report and hidden it.  How do I call the interpreted field into the formula?

Agree.  Crystal's HTML interpretter is very limited an mainly covers only common formatting tags.

Thanks guys.  

Wasn't what I wanted to hear, but was what I thought I would hear.  

Who do you want to get the points?  mimmc for being first or both for same answer?
If mlmcc's answer covered your question thoroughly then give him the points.  If you feel my answer added to it then split them.  Completely your call...

Another question, which I am also postingin SQL forum.  Can I render the HTML in SQL before I load it into the Report?
