Memo field to display HTML-formatted text?

[geoB]

In ACC2007:

I have imported a CSV file that contains a field (Answer) which contains text and may also include HTML tags. [The file is a download of online final exams's results. I've set up the db to grade the responses without seeing the students' names.] The answer field is a memo field. With table field and form control properties set to Rich Text, I see the HTML tags rather than HTML formatted text in the form.

Is it possible to see the HTML-tagged text as formatted text in a text box control of a form, and if so, how?

Thanks.

There are some forms in the samples that should help . one of them is html formatted - so I presume you could see the code behind this - however you will suffer from file bloat - so be aware - there is also some freebie downloads out there that could help

Thanks for the reply.

Anything that'll help me focus my search? File name? Form name?

I've searched here on "memo html" with no real success, nor does a broader search on "access memo html" seem to get me closer. I don't mind code, and for a once-per-semester db, bloat will be ok. I've certainly bloated some this winter and could use a compress button.

I've now got an ActiveX browser control reading a temporary file with the field's contents. Yet text with HTML tags is not yet formatted. And the tags show as tags. I remain stumped.

The answer: leave the Answer field as plain text and feed it to the browser control via a temp file.

Gee, that was fun!
