RTF in Access 2003

[Guest]

What is the Rich Text format ActiveX dll for Access 2003?

Access 2003 did not include an RTF control, but Stephen Lebans has one you
can download:

Thanks Allen,

I am testing that. Lebans has writen the utility to register the OCX. I need
to package the ActiveX in Installation package.

I use RTF field as a message log. It is bound to a SQL-server nText field.
Currently I am using simple text box. Since I need (in some cases) to save
different files : bmp, jpg, doc, txt .... as attachments, I need to use I use
RTF control.
It is also easy for user to drag and drop the files.

Also do you know which control in MS-Access 2003 is like MS-Outlook Message
Attachments.

Regards,

The hyperlink field is nearest to the concept of an attachment.
