Help parsing HTML into text in my text box within my form
Here's an interesting problem I hope someone can help with.
I am pulling in data that is displayed in one of my text boxes (set up as memo format). the data used to be in plain text from the SQL server we are pulling from. Well now, we just had to change things...Now the data pulled for this text field comes in the format of HTML and now it is displayed in my text feild in my Form as garbled, HTML How can I parse this to plain text? I have no control over the format in which the data is stored on the SQL server we are pulling this information from. There has to be a way I can convert the HTML to plain text and have this displayed correctly in my text box in my form. Suggestions?? -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |

Help parsing HTML into text in my text box within my form
Can you push it out to Excel, copy, and Paste Special - Text, and then back
into Access? -- Build a little, test a little. "chris23892 via AccessMonster.com" wrote: Here's an interesting problem I hope someone can help with.

Help parsing HTML into text in my text box within my form
Not realistic for over 10,000 records. There has to be a VB script somewhere
that can parse HTML into text so it will display right in the text box in my form. KARL DEWEY wrote: Can you push it out to Excel, copy, and Paste Special - Text, and then back into Access?

those lines. see http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1458220 http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-947224.php http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91644 To give you some inspiration.
