Hello,

I have placed richtext box control on a report so that I may use a memo field from a table - which has\will use text formating (bold, italics, etc), the problem is when I try to print the report the first couple of letters don't appear on the printered report (even though they are visible on the print preview). The richtext box control prints ok if I use SelPrint command from a form but I want to use a report.

Background - converting and old dos database (has db3 or 4 tables, I do not have the src to the program, though i think it may of been written in clipper, and may of used rl - to do reports) - it used @b to print bold, @i to print italics, etc.

System - runnining Office 97 - no patches - so if one of the patches fixes this please tell me which so I can get it and install it.

(I'm happy to have the field to store rtf formatted text)

Thanx for any help,
Grant
