Default Rich Text box

The problem i have is that the text is being written to a database via a
front end UI. The editor used stores the text in a varbinary(max) field in
the database. The output from the editor is in RTF format. I need to return
the varbinary text column and insert it into a text box so the format is
retained.

I'll try give it a shot but does it sound likely that a standard text box is
going to be able to handle this?

On a worksheet - why not use a Textbox from the Drawing toolbar. Unlike an
ActiveX textbox it can accept mixed font formats.
