What version of VFP5 are you using? Mine is 5.0a Build 415 (SP3) and it works OK with the control from 6.
If you must replace the control:
Get out your VFP 5 CD and find the RICHTX32.OCX and put it in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder and register it with REGSVR32 RICHTX32.OCX. 5 & 6 use the same name for both.
You'll have a similar thing with the calendar control. In 5 it was MSACAL70.OCX and in 6 it's MSCAL.OCX. Even though they are named different, once it is registered it's the same name. Both work in 5, though the syntax is slightly different. The syntax for using the 6 control works for the 5 control.
