I recently had a PC upgrade that went from Win2k to Xp with a similar upgrade in Access 2000 to Access 2002. I have a form for retriving various tips and techniques that I use by doing a string search within a Microsoft Rich Textbox Control, version 6. After the PC upgrade, string searchs no longer function on the Rich Text box control. I get a "The control 'RichTextBox6' the macro is attempting to search can't be searched." when I try. I have deleted the old activex control and put in a newest one, but I still get the same basic error. While three hints were given by the error dialog box (i.e. "Add a GotoControl Action before the FindRecord action") these were not helpful to me. In the original form I had no custom code (Vb or macro) to perform a string search.

Is there a simple way to get my RichText Box control to do string seraches as they once did? I do have a work-around where I added another field to search on, but I would like to do away with this additional field if at all possible.
