Total Access
Memo, by FMS Inc.,
gives you the
power to add rich text format (RTF) memos to Microsoft Access.
Our super-easy data binding means you can display rich text on
your forms and reports and store it in your tables. |
|
Total Access Memo
is the most powerful rich text solution available for the
Microsoft Access development environment. Able to provide
complete content formatting on forms and reports, Total Access
Memo combines power and ease of use. |
The need for formatted
text in Access has been around as long as Access itself. Users and
developers are constantly looking for a way to include formatting
within fields. Formatting like fonts, bullet points, indentation,
colors, images and alignment.
Unfortunately, Access
provides no native way to accomplish this. The typical solution is
to invoke Microsoft Word through automation to achieve rich text.
The problems with this approach are many-fold:
 |
Word is a large
program that takes a long time to load. Trying to use Word as an
editing solution on table data is almost always unworkable. |
|
Embedding Word in an
Access form using OLE is generally unstable as the links break on
any machine that is not configured identically to the build
machine. |
|
Word does not offer
a solution for Access reports, where the need for formatted text
is often the most acute. |
Similarly, some have
tried to use the Microsoft Rich Text ActiveX control as a solution.
This control exhibits the following problems:
|
As a Microsoft
ActiveX control, the Rich Text control is prone to failure if an
application installs a newer version. Microsoft often updates
controls as part of an application's installation process, leading
to non-functional ActiveX controls. |
|
The Rich Text
control does not reliably support data-binding in Access reports. |
|
The Rich Text
control offers no capability for editing text other than typing
into the control itself. There are no provisions for applying
formatting, changing fonts, or any of the other content options
people need with rich text. |

Since Access 2.0, Fms

needs. Total Access Memo provides a complete rich text editing
