Hi Ralph,

The intention was not to use a Rich Text Box for searching purposes but only
as a place to dump a ton of data. If the end user so desires to grab one so
be it, thats his call. The stipulation was to be able to view the entire
contents and if someone desires to do a serach then they ought to be able
to. What I was trying to do in posting this was to get my question
answered. I am aware of the insanity of such a thing but this is what they
want to be able to do.

Thanks,

Les
