Wondering if what I need exists.

[ogg13]

Im looking for a pre made control that displays formatted information for a database update history page.

Basically im looking to have the following output:

(red text) (black text)
XX/XX/XXXX So and so Functionality was implemented

Im looking to have multiple lines with a scrollbar so that you can scroll through the information.

Basically, I want to be able to put a formatted document into a form and have a scrollbar on it.

Does such a beast exist? Right now im making multiple labels for what I want to do.

Thanks in advance!

What you describe is a "roll your own" sort of beast. It SOUNDS like you could be talking about a product history database. Do that with a home-grown table and form. Access does not do this automagically for you. What you have described is something we call a "configuration history." Third-party companies make fairly big bucks supplying this sort of thing as a commercial product. You can read more via Google-search if you look up "Configuration Control" as a topic. BEWARE of a gazillion product sources. You want to read up on .EDU site articles (or .ORG sites sometimes). The .COM and .BIZ sites usually just want to sell you something.

As I suspected.

Thank you for the information.

Seems kind of wierd that there is no microsoft supplied OCX to simply plop a read only .doc into a database control. Oh well!
