I currently store some plain text in a database field to be displayed in a multiline textbox in a vb front end.
I want to change the textbox to a richtextbox so I can implement some sort of formatting.
This would mean storing the rtf in the database.
As I already have a considerable amount of text stored in the database so I want to keep using that data.
2 questions.
1. Is there going to be a problem storing rtf code in an Access 'Long Text' datatype? There are a lot of braces etc in there.
2. How can I detect whether the string returned from the database is rtf or plain so that I can do the appropriate action to display in the richtextbox.
Cheers
