Mike,
I guess you missed the fine and very clearly stated details in
my reply, that included the specific references to R:BASE 7.6
Update 6 (Build: 7.6.6.30315) and R:BASE Turbo V-8 Update 20
(8.0.20.30315). Are you using that specific version/update? I
was told once that reading between the lines is essential so
you don't miss anything important.
If you still haven't figured it out yet, you may have to login
to get the exact version and updates at www.rupdates.com on
03/15/2009 (either 7:56am morning or 8:00pm evening). You will
have to try at either time exactly <g>.
Enjoy the weekend!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.

Good Morning,
Razzak, after countless tries of all the combinations of options to print a
report to an ETXT file. I went to the sat application RRBYW15 used the code
(copied and pasted from your email)
PRINT CustomFormLetter WHERE CustID = 128 +
OPTION ETXT +
|FILENAME CustomFormLetter.TXT +
|INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON +
|RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE PLAINTEXT +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|OPEN ON
It gave me the same response , the txt file named customformletter.txt when
opened by notepad did not display the rtf object in the report. I know that
you said that it did and I'm sure it did . What could I be doing
This is the code I have used in my database with the same results as above
PRINT cust_CMRKLTR3v2 WHERE jidcode =101 +
OPTION ETXT +
|FILENAME vmemo.TXT+
|INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON+
|RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE PLAINTEXT+
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF+
|OPEN ON
Needing some greatly appreciated help here.
Mike

Very interesting, Mike!
Here's what I did to test the similar scenario on my end:
01. Started R:BASE 7.6 Update 6 (Build: 7.6.6.30315)
02. CONNECted to RRBYW15 (Running R:BASE Your Way! Part 15)
03. Used the following command to PRINT the report with embedded
Rich Text control as Report Emulation Text File (ETXT).
PRINT CustomFormLetter WHERE CustID = 128 +
OPTION ETXT +
|FILENAME CustomFormLetter.TXT +
|INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON +
|RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE PLAINTEXT +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|OPEN ON
The resulting text file (CustomFormLetter.TXT) looks A-OK,
including the RTF contents as plain text.
Using the R:BASE Turbo V-8 Update 20 (8.0.20.30315) also reveals
the same A-OK results.
What version and update are you using?
Hope that gives you some blues clues ....
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
