As I said before you cannot set "xml" value directly.
So what you need to do here is get the xml string from the webservice and prepare a node out of that, get all child nodes of that new node and assign them to the richtext field.

Thanks for that.

I'm basically playing about with the DOM at the moment. However, the objective is to display stored formatted text and display in the rich text boxes. This will be provided from a web service.

As i cannot bind rich text to a SQLServer data type. I was thinking of storing the rich text data as an xml string and get the formatted data as string from webservice and update control with this.

Am i on the correct track here?

Hello Travis,
"xml" property is a readonly property of IXMLDomNode.
Here is the code that lets you copy the rich text data

foreach(IXMLDOMNode listNode in sourceRichTextNode.childNodes)
{
destRichTecxtNode.appendChild(listNode.cloneNode(true));
}

Having more problems with Rich Text.

I can get the xml and therefore get the formatted text from one text box. I am trying to set another rich text box through code:

IXMLDOMNode nodeMainText = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("my:myFields/my:txtMainText");

nodeMainText.xml = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:txtSummary").xml;

I am getting the following error:

Property or indexer 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.InfoPath.SemiTrust.IXMLDOMNode.xml' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only

any help appreciated
