    Rich Text IS NOT A DATA TYPE. Rich Text is a Property, which can be applied to either a Text field (limit 255 characters) or to a Memo field (two gigabytes).

    My guess (based on insufficient info :) ) is that you're Printing the value using a Query that's truncating it (for example, by trying to sort by the Memo field or setting a Format property on it).

    Context please? What's the structure of your table? Is the Data Type of the field Text (bad) or Memo (good)? How are you printing it?

    Data type is rich text.  All caps has been turned OFF.  My people can type  as much as they want but when it prints it is cut off.  When it saves it cuts off.?????????????????????????????????????????????

    I'm not sure that it does. What is the datatype for the field the control is attached to?
