In fact there are lot of fields I am using as sub-type 0 for text data and
they seem to be working well in VFP.

<g> No actually I have classes in place in VFP to do the job and I have a
VFP app using VFP data where I have been able to successfully use and store
RTF, so I was assuming that all the previous work will work for Remote
views of FB tables.

Actually what I am expected to do in VFP is get the data from blob, store
it in a form.property, the edit box is supposed to be bound to this
form.property, all work is done in form.property, and on exiting the edit
box I am to replace the data back into the RV.

That sums it up but what is happening that the field remains NULL before
and after.
