Wordpress,how can I convert textareas to use a wysiwyg editor?

I have a question about wordpress. I am creating a web form for branch managers to enter data into a database, one of the fields can contain bullet points so I need to use an editor that will allow the user to use bullets and then convert it to html like the way wordpress handles posts. Is there a way to make text areas use the tinymce editor? I tried using mceTextarea but it didn't do anything. Anyone know how to add editor options to textareas?

    WordPress has a function called wp_editor() that creates a WYSIWYG editor anywhere you need one.
