  We just upgraded from v14 to v16.

  It appears that the ReplaceField method on RichTextBox doesn’t work.

  I tried putting the code in every event on the report and on the section to no avail.

  Are you all aware of this and is this address in v16.2.1?

  Hi Kim,

  I tested the ReplaceField method in ActiveReports 16.2.1. The method seems to be working fine at my end. Please refer to the attached sample for reference.

  If the issue still persists then please share a sample replicating this issue so we can reproduce this issue at our end and investigate further on this.

  Hello, i have the same problem, but i’am migrating from AR8 to AR18. In AR8, works fine richTextBox1.ReplaceField(“name”, “John Doe”) but with AR18 does not.

  I have to replace the code with <<richTextBox1.RTF = richTextBox1.RTF.Replace(“[!name]”, “John Doe”)>>
  
  Hope you can help, because the project is with many many RTF fields.

          // 
          // richTextBox1
          // 
          this.richTextBox1.AutoReplaceFields = true;
          this.richTextBox1.Font = new GrapeCity.ActiveReports.Document.Drawing.Font("Arial", 10F);
          this.richTextBox1.Height = 1.371F;
          this.richTextBox1.Left = 0.086F;
          this.richTextBox1.Name = "rtfParrafo1";
          this.richTextBox1.RTF = resources.GetString("richTextBox1.RTF");
          this.richTextBox1.Top = 6.468F;
          this.richTextBox1.Width = 7.480556F;
  

  Thank you in advance
