The RTF box will work - you can just get the unformatted text out of the RTF
control by using the Text property and not the TextRTF property.

Subject: [pro_vb] databound large textbox


What is the best workaround for a very large datafield in a text box. I
have a SQL text field that contains ~ 100kB per field, and it get
truncated by the text box control. The RTF box works, but adds formatting
info to the field when it writes it back, and that causes errors in the
processing.

Any suggestions?
Tom
