View and Print Document Using Data Report

[sonper]

Hi guys!

I just want to know if there's a way wherein I can view and print a document (2 pages max) coming from a Rich Text Box into Data report without saving it first on a database and also retaining all of its attributes e.g. bold type, centered?

VB data reports do not support RTF text objects, only text boxes and labels, which you can apply the regular font formatting to, bold, italic etc. You would have to show the report first and then print from the report dialog. I think maybe you would have to save your data to a DB tho.

petevick,

Thanks for your reply. I was able to show the contents of the RTB thru label control but is only limited to displaying 1 page. Do you have an idea on how I could possibly show all the pages?

Thanks.

Only by saving your data to a DB as two records, that should then give two pages for your report.

Could you please give me an idea on how will I determine which group of text or how many words goes to page 1 or record #1 and so forth...? Thanks again.

Just a follow up. How will I split up contents of a Rich TExt Box in such a way that the first group which will be my first record in a DB will fit in exactly on a letter size paper? Thanks.
