I am using CR9 with an ODBC connection and the field I am trying to insert in the report is a varchar field. The text in the field is stored as rich text and when I try to report on the field, it comes into the report as rich text coding in front of and behind the text. I was hoping there was a way to just extract the text. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
 
Right click the field - Click on: Format field -> Paragraph -> Change 'Text Interpretation' to 'RTF Text'

See if that gets you what you need.

Thanks for the reply, but I tried that with no luck. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
 
Nevermind, I believe I figured it out. Thanks!
 
What was your solution? "I figured it out" doesn't help the rest of this community who might want to know. Thanks.
