[AccessD] Help with an ActiveX control

Thanks Doug - that seems to be for a difft. purpose.

What I am trying to achive is this:

Allow users to use full rich text type formatting of a field using as Access form (eg. bold, red header, followed by smaller font next para etc.)

Then I need to export that data to an external mdb file which is used for the website. The file needs to include the text with html formatting so that it can be displayed on the website using the same formats the user used in the Access form. 

Hope that makes sense.

  Kathy,

  Not sure what your original requirement was but Leban has another html
  editing control on his site.  Look at http://www.lebans.com/htmleditor.htm.
  Don't know anything about this, have only seen it listed.

  Hi William - yeah, I worked with that ...but it seems a bit clumsy to be
  going with rtf and then finding ways of converting to html (I did try a few
  conversions).

  I think it should be simpler to find a control which has an html format
  option..........
