I want to have a memo field in my table which stores
formatted data (i.e. bold, bullets, font colors, etc.).  
The user should be able to perform wysiwyg editing on this
field directly from the Access form.  The formatting
should be retained for display in a Web interface as well.

I thought that storing the formatted text as HTML would be
an obvious choice - purely text-based, all data contined
within the table, and easily displyed via the Web.  But I
can't find a wysiwyg HTML editor for Access anywhere
(presumably ActiveX).

Total Access Memo comes closest, but it only works on rich
text and uses an external file to store the memo
information.

This control seems so logical, I assumed there would be
several to choose from on the Internet but all of my
searches keep coming up empty.

Does ANYONE have any suggestions?  Either the control
which I've described, or an opinion that I'm going about
this all wrong would be GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi,

if you have IE installed on the target machine and you have Access 2000 or
higher, then you may use the Database from Stephen Lebans

You find a lot of interesting/cool stuff at www.lebans.com . Among other also
