Rich Text Box

[Alan B. Densky]

I'm trying to convert an A 2000 database that has Microsoft Rich Text
Controls (4). They work perfectly under A 97, A 2000, and A 2002. However,
when I try to run them under Access 2003 it will have no part of it. If I
try to insert a new control, it won't let me.

I did a search of the KB without any success. How do you use the Microsoft
Rich Text Controls in Access 2003?

Hello, RichTextBox control comprises access
methods to the files (in particular LoadFile and SaveFile) which make
it potentially dangerous within the framework of a Web. application
For this Microsoft reason prevents its execution in Internet To
explore by using the method described in the base of Microsoft
knowledge (technical article 240797), by fixing the value of the entry
"Compatibility Flags" in the following under-key of the base of
register: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{3B7C8860-D78F-101B-B9B5-04021C009402}

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;FR;240797

Microsoft reinforced the safety of Microsoft Access in
the version 2003. One of the additional safety measures is that
Access 2003 holds account of the restrictions forced on Internet To
explore in the under-key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility an administrator of the Windows station
can modify the value of this entry "Compatibility Flags". But I
disadvise to you making it since this would weaken the safety offered
by Access 2003 and Internet To explore. I rather advise you to
give up format rtf with the profit of a more recent format:
HTML. You could then use, for example, control ActiveX
"WebBrowser control" to post the text formatted in HTML. Benoit

Steve,

Thanks for the info. I don't know who to get angry at, Microsoft, or the
shit-heat hackers that forced Microsoft to take this step. It's a real pain
to have to maintain different code bases when you are selling a program in
different versions of Access.

Thanks again,

Alan B. Densky

Why not use the one Stephen has (for free) at
http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm

I believe it works in all versions of Access. (I'm sure he'll correct me if
I'm wrong...)

RichTextBox in Excel keeps getting deleted

Ok so I've read about the issue with rich text boxes and internet explorer causing problems using this control in an excel macro. (Microsoft knowledge technical article 240797). I have gone and edited the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{3B7C8860-D78F-101B-B9B5-04021C009402} and have set the value to zero. This will fix the problem of not being able to use the rich text box inside excel but the registry key does not stay at this value for long. Within a day or two the key value reverts back to it's default value. Is there any way of preventing this from happening? A permanent solution would be nice. I'll risk it even if it's considered a security issue.

Thanks
