HTML Editing in Access Form?

[Simon Harris]

Hi All,

I'm looking into the possibility of giving a client the facility to edit web
content in MS Access.

They have an existing database which works well, they practically run there
business on it - Accounts, Orders, Staff management etc.

The idea is to let them edit very basic (Bullets, Bold, Italic, Underline
etc) HTML based Intranet content.

I've read a bit about the DHTML editor ActiveX object, and have had a go at
this - It seems there are lots of bugs, like carriage return not working, I
also cannot set focus on the object for some reason.

Has anyone got a working example of an HTML editor that I can steal? Or a
tutorial? I dont seem to have much luck when searching for such like on
Google etc.

Many Thanks,

Simon.

I use NoteTab to hand edit HTML. With the appropriate template, it will add
the required tags for you. There is a Lite version which is free:

Hey, this is fantastic; I was looking for a capability like this as well.

I am attempting to modify the form and add "InsertHyperlink" functionality
to the blank button. I'm having trouble getting the parameters right.
Couldn't seem to find VB-friendly documentation anywhere in the
KnowledgeBase. Can you offer some pointers of where to look to determine
the proper parameters to pass to execCommand("InsertHyperlink") ?

Stephen, I'm trying to use your excellent HTML edit form in an Access
project. I'm experiencing a side effect of the Web Browser Control. After
navigating to about:blank and setting the innerHTML to the existing HTML
content (obtained from my current database record), the HTML content is
CHANGED by the Web Browser Control, so that any image references that were
in the HTML now have "about:blank" inserted in the front. For example,

img src="test..gif"

becomes

img src="about:blanktest.gif"

Needless to say, this causes serious problems in my application, as the HTML
is now effectively corrupt.

Do you know of any way to disable this behavior of the Web Browser Control?
