Re: rich textbox loses formatting when printed to from 2 different subs

I'm using a rich textbox to let the user enter a few lines of text and
format them (font family, font size, italic, bold, color, underline).

Then I print a report to the rich textbox from a different sub on a
different form. When I do the textbox loses all of its formatting except
what was on the last line of the heading, and it applies that to the whole
textbox contents.

Is there a trick to this?

TIA
Mike

Post the code you're using to populate the box... you should be using
something like....

'==========
Public Sub AddSomeText(Text2Add As String, Optional AddCR As Boolean = True)
With RichTextBox1
'place the cursor at the end of all text
.SelStart = Len(.TextRTF)
'add the new text
.SelText = Text2Add
'optionally, add a cr/lf
If AddCR Then
.SelText = vbCrLf
End If
End With
End Sub
'==========

If you're using 'RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text & MoreText', you
won't be able to control formatting.
