DisplayFormat at run time

This is probably another simple one but my searching for an answer brought me nowhere so far. ;)

I am looking for a way to change the display format of a field programmatically at run time (i.e. without loading the designer).

Many thanks in advance.

    hi
    Instead of setting the display format of a memo
    use one of the formatting functions, and create a variable to contain the format mask then when you load the report you can set the variable value to whatever format string you want, before displaying the report. ;)

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
