I need to open a text editor and display and edit data
from a field in an access table. Any ideas on how to do
this? I don't want to use and HTML editor because I need
to limit the user to text only formatting (tabs, returns,
etc.)

Thanks in advance
 
Why not just put a large text box on the form and turn on the scroll bar?
 
Russ,
Try:

debug.? Shell("Notepad.exe " & "path to textfile", vbNormalFocus)

I find it useful for testing things I've written to textfiles
