Getting Rich text content from SharePoint List to Infopath.

Hi,

If you want to get the content of SharePoint List into Info Path, you can do it using Data Connections ( Data Sources).

But the problem is:

You can not get the reference to the columns of type Rich Text box ( Multiple Lines of Text (Rich Text));

Here is the solution:

1) Modify the column to Multiple of Text ( Plain).
2) Add the Data Source to the Infopath.
3) Go back to the list and change the Column type back to Rich text.

Note:- In the process of converting the column type back and forth you may miss some content in that column.
