No, i think rtf is the correct variable field type and varbit is ok for datatype. I have been looking through all propertys for different types of variable field and varRTF is the only one that can load a file into. varRTF fields can show images, formatted text and tables in REPORTS and LABELS, not in FORMS. The same RTF file I have made in Word can be loaded into a report, showing colors and images. If it is loaded into a form, only formatted text is seen. Regards Christian
