[AccessD] Rtf to text

Hi
Been out-of-office.  No I could not find the property, maybe the version
I am using is different.  I did find a solution albeit long-winded (but
effective). Created a ms access form with tb1 (standard text box with
raw rtf stringed data), tb2 (rtf activex control) and tb3 (standard text
box). 
Write a prog to move thru the underlying rs, for each record set focus
on tb2, use sendkeys to highlight text and do a ctrl C to copy the data.
Then set focus on tb3. Here sendkeys to ctl V to paste the data in did
not work so I used a docmd to use the menubar to do a paste function
into tb3. Et voila

Hi

I have a table (converted from Paradox) that has a memo field that
contains rtf data (ie rtf formatting and some readable text embedded). I
am trying to extract the relevant text part.  I have created a Access
form that displays the raw data (raw1) and added a rtf activeX text box
whose control source is the raw1 text box - this then shows the raw1
data correctly.

If I msgbox the activex text box the rtf data with formtting is
displayed - no good. If a add a further text box that references the
activex textbox then it simply shows the rtf raw formatted data. 

If I copy and pasted the activex data into a third textbox I can msgbox
that correctly - but I have 6000 records so this will not do.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks

Richard
