> MS Sans Serif;}}> Why is this happening? That is the correct behavior. Rich Text is a format that is completely encoded in ASCII characters -- that's what all the extra stuff is. Once you save Rich Text it can only be properly interpreted and displayed by the Rich Text controls on forms and reports, and by the Rich Text tab of the browser -- you can't, for instance, just select the data -- you'll get the encoding also. The solution is to restrict use of the field to controls that properly interpret Rich Text. If you don't need the abilities of Rich Text (fonts, colors, indents, etc) then you should be using a DBMemo control and not a DBRichText control to input the data. -- Larry
