Rich text

    Is there a way to store rich text in a database field (formatting such as bold, underline, bullets, line breaks, etc) and have that appear in a report?

    I have never heard of this, but my client insists on being able to do this.

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    Yes you could the but the file must be static because you could store Word file in an image column and then add the column into a Rectangle. The other option is to store the Word file in the project and add the file to a image control.

    These two options may provide a solution, just remember that the file will be static.

    Kind regards,

    the only other solution i have used was creating an .NET RTF to HTML converter that you could use in reporting services, so it does a best guess at converting...never got it to handle embedded images, but it did ok with the rest for what i was playing with.
