WITH THISFORM.txtRTF .Font = [Courier New] .Font.Size = 14 .Font.Bold = .T. .Font.Italic = .T. ENDWITH>Using the rich textbox control, in the init of the form if I try to set a property's value (like scrollbars) it returns the error that the property is readonly. So far i have only been able to change it by using the properties sheet or the activex richtextctrl properties (right clicking on the control and selecting its properties there)
