Hi Sergey

Thanks for the information.

Can I ask a related question: In the VFP9 sample for RTF, they set the control source to a memo field. But they also do this:

Before they move the record pointer, in vcr1.beforeRecordPointerMoved(), they have:

REPLACE rtf.Source WITH THISFORM.oleRTF.TextRTF

I don't know why they do this. Is it required?

Also, they use THISFORM.cText, for example, in vcr1.RecordPointerMoved():

THISFORM.cText = rtf.source

I am assuming from your comments that it is unnecessary to implement THISFORM.cText for RTF and memo fields.

Thanks
Cyril
