I have an Access 2010 system that stores program source code. (PostScript, but that is not relevant to this problem) in a table as a memo field. It works fine except that forms showing the source code donn't deal with tab chars by indenting, as one would expect. <CR> and <LF> are fine. But not tab char.
The table contains the tab chars OK (and I can, for example) generate HTML by replacing each tab char by 3 html chars.
But I would like to be able to edit the source code on a form, using a control that deals with the tab char properly, including showing them, indenting, allowing insertion/deletion, ... I can obviously do all that with (for example) Notepad ++. But I need to be able to do it with code in the tables.
Is this possible? And if so, how?
Thanks for any help, Mike
