The requirements for this task are still vague, but it's like
* Create Public Function to return user input of memo text
* Function uses automation to open word
* Allow user to type whatever they wish
* Wait until they finish
* Before close of Word document, grab text for use
* Do not save Word doc, it's just a scratch pad.
Ok, this sounds really stupid as I type it, but let's assume
the reason they want to use Word is that they need to allow
for Rich Text.
Is there any way to do this? To pause processing in a function
while a user types in word and then capture the text when they
close the document?
Alternatively, we could create a Word-like interface using
the RichTextBox control, but does anyone have some nice
formatting code to allow users to Underline, Bold and Color
the font? (I did this years ago with VB but never tried it in
Access and my VB app is long forgotten and gone.)
Thanks
