HTML appearance

[Guest]

Hallo everybody
is there a way in access to view an HTML text
as it would apear in the HTML browser
Thanks, Eyal

I've never used it in a production db but there's an ActiveX control
"Microsoft Web Browser". It's used by doing something like....

Me.ctlName.Navigate2 "pathtoyourhtmlfile"

Hi Eyal,

I've never tried, but the obvious approach is to put a web browser
control on a form and pass the HTML string to it.

Hi John
How should I pass the HTML string to the web browser control (in a form) ?
Thanks Eyal

Hi Eyal,

I don't know. As I said, I've never tried this. In a quick search of
MSDN the first example of using the web browser in VBA is
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnofftalk/html/office06012000.asp
That's for Excel, and rather than passing strings to the browser the
author writes them to temporary HTML files and has the browser display
those. But other approaches may be possible: suggest you search
www.microsoft.com and further afield.

Good luck!

If I remember correctly it is the InnerHTML prop you need to work with.
FOr sample code see the HTML editor on my site here:
