Tracy, Thanks for the advice. I was able to work around this issue by creating a form property, assigning the value in the amount field to the form property, and then using the form property as the control source for the control. I'm not sure how it is converting the amount which is numeric to text, but as long as it works I won't be too OCD about this part.
Adding this code to the form's init gives me a huge number. with this.font .bold=.t. .name="ariel" .size=540 Endwith I was able to subclass the control, and it does appear in the class browser, but it's not on the forms control toolbar?

Try to put a hidden textbox class with the controlsource being your field, and the controlsource of the RichText control being TEXT property of the textbox. You will have to consider the width of the textbox because to narrow could show an asterisk. Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harvey Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 4:25 PM I added this control, bound the control source to the amount field, but upon doing so and running the form it changes the value in the field to zero? This is confirmed as I browse the table after closing the form and can see 0 has replaced the previous number. James E Harvey Hanover Shoe Farms, Inc.

Quick testing with dropping it onto a form I was able to get to the font object while it was running and change the font.size to 372. This gave me a capital letter O about 4.5 inch high.
