We have an application that stores HTML documents in the database. The idea
is to retreive the document and display it in an Access form or Access
report. Using WebBrowser to point to a web site or a text file works fine
but when the HTML string (read from the database) is passed to it, we get an
error.

Are HTML strings not allowed to be passed to WebBrowser? Or we doing
something else wrong? The idea of writing the string to a text file and
then passing that path to WebBrowser could be done but doesn't seem very
elegant and would be slow.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Al Kaufman

If I remember correctly you would write your html string to the
InnerHTML prop of the Web Browser object.
Me.NameOFWebBrowserCOntrol.object.Document.body.innerHTML = somestring

Have a look at the HTML Editor on my site here:
