Brad,

What will probably be easier is to leave your Memo fields alone BUT use the RTFText Control wherever they are displayed.
You cannot directly source a RTFText from a Memo field, but the example supplied with RTF in fact shows you how to do it.

Good Luck,
Jim N

>Is there any way to give a memo field the richtext look, underlining, bold, etc.? I was looking at changing my memo fields to general but what will this do to my file sizes? Each record in my tables will have 5 or so memo/general fields. Does anyone know if general fields slow down performance?
