I am running into issues adding a rich text box bound to a database column to
an infopath 2003 form. I get the error:

"A rich text box must be bound to a non-repeating field with a rich text
data type. If the field is part of a repeating group, then the rich text box
must be inside a repeating table or repeating section that is bound to that
group."

Thanks for your response.

This is a limitation of database bound forms. InfoPath creates simple types
for database fields, while a rich text field is a complex type, so you cannot
bind the data field to a rich text box control. You will have to create a
form that is not bound to a database and write a web service to submit your
form containing rich text fields to the database.
