Why doesn't RTF text display properly in report?

[kenton.l.sparks@gmail.com]

I have a memo field with RTF that shows properly on forms. For example



"<strong>"&"my text: "&"</strong>"&"more text" displays my text: more text

However, on my report it looks like the characters (e.g., "<strong>"&"my text: "&"</strong>"&"more text").

The report control is RTF format. Any idea why it doesn't display as I'd like?

Thx

Just tested this.

Text entered with formatting by the RTF tool bar displays properly in form and report.

When I view the formatted value in a PlainText textbox, there are no ampersands and no quote marks around the text and tags. Example:
my text more text

<div><strong>my text</strong> more text</div>

I tried typing and copy/paste that html string into another record. It does not display properly in either form or report.
