richtextbox format problem

Question

Hi everyone
I am new to VB.Net and i have a problem with my richtextbox control. I populate this control direct from an access database MEMO field. In VB6 when i assigned a the datafield to the richtextbox it would implant the information perfectly with formatting. Now with VB.net using the same datafield it plants the information without formatting and including all of the formatting paremeters


Does anyone please have an explanation and/or fix for this.
