If you are using a DB Memo field to display the data, no property commands should be required, in fact, no commands should be required at all. However, if you are filling a variable memo with the rich text and displaying it via a property command, the command needs to be in an "after open" eep or "row entry" eep or possibly both.
Please note that property commands do not work before the form is opened, which means that you cannot use a property command, then start the form as you can do with a simple variable assignment. Specifically the property command cannot be used in the code that calls the form nor can it be used in the "Before Open" eep of the form. ... Property command Edit using formname ... does NOT work ... set v NewVAr = .OldVar Edit using formname ... does work Hope that helps.
