Viewing HTML in a form

[davec69]

I've used Access 2003 to create a database which contains a table linked directly to the "Orders" table on my mysql server. This table holds all of the customer orders placed on our website. I next created a form in access to give me a nice justified view of the orders.

My Problem? The field on the mysql server that holds the line item details for each order is a "Memo" field, and all of the text is formatted in html it appears. When viewed on the form, I see the all of the raw code, and not the nicely formatted text. If i highlight a section of the code from the form, and paste it in a Html editor (Frontpage for example), I see the line items nicely formatted as intended.

Is there a way to get this memo field to display the formatted html text instead?

My access skills are pretty limited, so detailed steps would be appreciated.

I looked at the html editor. Very cool. I've tried to modify the code to work for my solution with no success.

In a report, I'm trying to display html that is saved in a table field. I tried to use the "Microsoft Web Browser" activex control/object. Failed.

Any assistance is appreciated.

I'm sorry but that is the extent of my knowledge on that particular topic. Maybe someone else will drop by with some suggestions.
