HTML Formatting for Text Box

[jaydwest]

I'm developing an Acess 2002 database for a client that will be used as the backend for a web site. Client wants to be able to enter text descriptions that will appear in web site. They need some minimal HTML Formatting (Bold, Underline, Italicize).

I have created a neat function that adds HTML formatting tags to the text in a text box. Works great. Now for the inexperienced user, I would really like to display a popup form with the formatted text as it would appear on the Web Site. I don't need to edit the formatted text, only to view it.

Does anyone know of a way to do this? Has anyone created an ACX to provide this?

Thanks in advance for your help. If anyone wants a copy of the function, please send me an email.

Almost there!

To provide formatted text in a textbox you need the Rich Text Box. Do a search as someone posted a few links to places where you can get one.
