Memo field - <div> tag being added

[Johnny Drama]

Hello all:

I've got an Access 2007 DB. There are a couple of tables with memo fields, but there only seems to be one table that's having this issue.

When data is entered through a form and then I go look at the data in the table, for some reason <div> and </div> have been added around the data that was input. There are two other memo fields in this table and it doesn't happen in those. Anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this? The DB wasn't converted from an older version, and the memo fields are identically configured so I have no idea why it does it in one and not the others.

Thanks

Found the issue....was on the form side.

If a field is set to Rich Text in the table but the control to display the text on the form is set to PLAIN TEXT, then you will see the HTML of the Rich Text as well as the text. If you want to stop that from happening, set the text box on the form to be RICH TEXT instead of plain text.

Yeah I've noticed that I had discrepancies in the form, the table, and the report :banghead:
