>I have a table table that contains RTF phrases and I want to locate a RTF-string in there.
This means that table may contain a phrase like (in RTF):
Productos petrol¡feros n.o.s.

>And I need to find the ¡ character (in RTF as well)

>For that I do the following:
>1) I copy the data from the field in an instance of the rtf-control (lortf1)
>2) I copy the data from the locatestring in an other instance of the rtf-control (lortf2)
>3) I ask the lortf1 if the second lortf2.textrtf is present.

>For this I use the lortf1.find(lortf2.textrtf,,,0) method.

The property loRTF2.TextRTF returns/sets the contents of the RTF control -- you should set here the text you want to search for; i.e., loRTF2.Find("¡",,,0). Also, I believe this method will not find RTF formatting codes if you embed it into the text to find.
