Yes, you'll have to create a custom dataview template. There are examples of
BDE based custom dataview templates in our demos folder of hte installation.

Can this problem be reproduced with our demo reports on your Brother

Right click over the rich text control and choose Edit from the popup menu

reproduce this with our ReportExplorer demo?

Check out this updated example. It creates autosearch fields even after the

parsing, but this can be accomplished.
