>Have you ever used the cntRichTextEditor? and if so, did you have any problems?

Yup. Its fair to say that I don't like it at all. I use Dave's Visual Documents product quite extensively and therefore RTF is another pet-subject (oh-oh - here we go again <s>). Whenever I do any RTF editing, I launch the RTF document in Word off a VFP command button. Personally, I would give this control a fairly wide berth. Not because it C5's or anything - I just find it slow and cumbersome to use. I always end up typing faster than it is prepared to accept the keystrokes. I think of all the CM gadgets, this control is the weakest and a bit of a novelty, not to be taken too seriously. If you want a form based RTF control, it may make more sense to use an optimised commercial product, like the TX control although I personally have never used it.
