I have an HTML Memo field in a table, where a varying amount of text is entered. I have a report on that table, that simply needs to print the contents of the HTML Memo field. There are no images in this particular field, just text, and nevertheless it does not show correctly on any output, neither a preview on the report, neither the print preview, neither pdf nor RTF export.
The problem is, I can not sort out WHY it does not print correctly.
The text actually shows just not completely. The part that is printed starts at the beginning, but stops somewhere in the middle.
The length of the part that is printed, is different in the various output modes: what is printed in a pdf is more text (but again not all) then in print preview.
It also changes when you apply font changes in size for instance.
I simply can not sort out why the report does that.
There is no fancy HTML in the text, just <br> at the point that I need a break, nothing really complex.....
What did I already do:
1- Compact the database, re-index it;
2- Remove the formatting (right mouse click menu);
3- Copy the text to Wordpad, delete original text, save record, re-copy the text from Wordpad
4- Manually check the HTML, nothing there that seems to cause the problem.....
5- The HTML field object properties on the report show "Allow Growth when printing" checked on, and "Allow Shrinking" checked on so it should move with the length of the contents and not just stop halfway.....
6- The Detail Section Properties show on the Region tab that "shrink contents of band" is checked ON.
7- The text in the plain table field is correct when you look at the contents of the table through the standard table browse: it's all there. When I look in the form I created for the field, also in the form the complete text is available, with all nice formatting. Just when I start printing it into some output mode, it just stops somewhere printing it.
I hope someone can help here, because fairly, I don't have a clue........
