[AccessD] Lots of Text in a Form

Rocky,
It was just a general idea for you. Just using the UI you would design and
save the report, then use File | Save as html or in newer version File |
Export.

This can be done through code but I don't remember where I've done it (or
I'd post it).

Posting it on the web is probably better because you can update it whenever
you desire. (Plus you don't have to deal with so many memo fields in your
db.)

John:

I think what we're going to do now is put all the resource info on a web
site.  And just have hyperlinks in the program to various resources pages on
that site.  That way after the product is published we can still change the
content every day if needs be.  This field of sleep medicine is really
fluid.

What do you think of that approach? (I'm installing Front Page 2003 as we
speak.)

I'm still curious, though, how you output that report to the screen with the
hyperlinks active.

Thanks and regards,
