PROPERTY <Component ID> SHOW_EDITOR 'TRUE' Should do it. Make sure that your component ID is exactly the same in the field and the Property command. I have run into problems where the component ID for the field had an extra blank at the end; a result of double clicking and then copying (it also grabs the space after the word) and pasting. Also, you could go to Settings>>BLOB Editor and selecting Rich Text as default.

IJntema Sent: Sunday, October 03, 2010 10:14 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Varchar and opening Advanced DB Rich Edit field in a form Having defined an Advanced DB Rich Edit field in a form. The datatype of the column is VARCHAR As long as the column is empty - on double click - the editor opens up in an "image" mode, while I like to have it opened in Rich Edit mode. Is there a property available to force this? I have tried PROPERTY <ComponentID> SHOW_EDITOR 'TRUE', the explanation of this property is: Will bring up the Note/BLOB Field Viewer/Editor with [NOTE/VARCHAR] tab as default. But it seems to me this does not work for the Advanced DB Rich Edit. Do I miss something? Tony
