How do I use "Multi-Line with Formatting" in a Base Form?

[Mopar]

Hi All,

I am a new user trying to make a form that will allow me to use formatted text for taking notes (bold, italics, etc.). When I format a text field using "multi-line with formatting" it is not communicating with the corresponding data field in the table. When I enter text into the field, that text does not change when I move to another record. When I change the format to "multi-line" everything works fine; I am able to enter new text for each record, and the text is transferred to the corresponding data field in the table. I have tried setting the table fields types to "Memo [LONGVARCHAR]" etc., but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
