Rich txt control output as html

[Guest]

I am looking for a way to have an Access form control which allows full 'rich
text' type formatting.

But it needs to be output as html so that when I export to the web file, the
html can be used to display the text in the same format as it was entered bu
users.

I have tried the lebans rich text download but cannot work out the
conversion to html side of things.

Thx / rgds

The so-called Rich Text capability in Access 2007 is actually stored as HTML.
That would (I think) fit the bill quite nicely. Going from *actual* Rich Text
to HTML would require some sort of non-trivial converter. Nothing built in is
going to do that.

Thanks Rick. I am going to have to keep it in 2003 for now, but that's interesting. I'm pretty sure I need a 3rd party tool. Just working out which one if I can;t use the lebans option.
