Importing Data That Contains super- and sub-script characters

T

tbl

In wanting to build a "glossary" type of database I realize the
problem of entering phrases that contain subscript and/or
superscript characters. Yuck! How is this handled by the pro's?

Thanks,

Hi tbl,

RTF - rich text format - is a way of encoding formatting text in a
string. You'll need to use rich text controls on your forms, and
probably store the rich text in memo field.

There are many rich text controls around, not all of which work reliably
on Access forms. Those that do include Stephen Lebans's (free download
from http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm) and the commercial Total Access
Memo from http://www.fmsinc.com/.
