Benn,

do you want to combine them into to text box or do you want to combine them on a report. For the first you should try cutting and pasting. If you do this by hand than it works. If you want to do something like c = a + b where both A and B are RTF-string than you are out of luck. The rtf control box will not accept multiple {\rtf...} phrases.

What you can do is the following:
The rtf always start with the '{\RTF' and ends with '}'
Instead of making the controle with {\rtf...}{\rtf...} you should do some manipulation to do the following:
{\rtf...{\rtf...}}
This works like a charm. Be aware that RTF likes to store a \PAR at the end of the phrase. If you remove this than you phrase will look beautiful without loosing its content.

Good luck,

Ron Brahma
