I have a form with a number of rich text boxes, and when the form is
submitted it submits to an "archive" form library and it submits to a
"most current" form library. What I want users to do is when they
click on "Fill Out This Form" on the archive library, the rich text
fields will be prepopulated with the contents of the "most current"
form. That way users won't have to rewrite what they previously
submitted.
What I am having trouble doing is finding a way so that after the rich
text is populated from the most current form's rich text fields users
could edit the rich text field without loosing the formatting from the
existing text.
I have tried using the the Default Value in the rich text field, but
that only brings in the text (unformatted)
I have also tried changing the binding of the rich text fields to the
Secondary data source (which is the most current form), which passes
the text and formatting correctly, but when a user edits the field, it
reverts it to plain text.
I would assume that there will be an element of programming involved in
order for this to work properly, but I just don't know how it should be
coded. Thanks in advance.
