IP 2007, Dataset, string and Rich Text

[Rick]

My IP 2007 form is calling a web service that returns a dataset. One of the
columns in the dataset is a string that contains a description. I need that
description to be completely visible in the form. I'm trying to use a Rich
Text Box because the regular textbox will not do multiline. Has anyone
managed to bind a RTB to a column that is a string in a dataset?

Thanks,

PS.. Does anyone from MS InfoPath team actually read this forum or do they
leave it up to volunteers?

Expression boxes do multiline. If you just need to display text, you can try
one of those. Tip: Use its "Data source" option to fill it, since this will
allow you to get more text into the control.

Regarding your PS: Yes, they do if/when they have time. They usually answer
questions which have not been answered before; answers to most questions are
usually already available on the Net in one form or another. And yes,
volunteers wind up answering most of the questions, so I hope you too will
join the list of volunteers when you get up and running with InfoPath!

Thanks for the reply but I need to be able to enter and display and print the
entry in the field.
