Rich Text in Access

Or create a Memo field in the table, and set the TextFormat property of the Field to: Rich Text

...hmmm
Actually Ron, you said the same thing here, but you were first...

Sorry about that

APD_Toronto,

Please disregard my post...

Would I be able to apply this to an SQL BE / Access FE?

You did not mention SQL BE in your original post...

Rich text is really HTML, so you can store it in SQL as a string, ...displaying it formatted may be a different issue though...

But you will have to tell us a bit more about the exact need here:
Formatting individual records?
Pasting Formatted text from external sources.
Inserting HTML formatted strings.
Displaying stored HTML strings.
...etc

Well, this will be a project managing app, so I will need rich text as a description. It make sence that it is actually html, but how would I go about it?

I was really hoping in my Access FE to have a text box that will have icons just as this EE text box with icons for bold, italic, underline, etc.

For pasting, I'm not too worried, as I can either paste it plain text then format it in Access, or paste HTML direct in my BE.  I'm more concerned re the icons, being able to do a report with rich text, and export the rich text report in Word or PDF.
