Access Html editor for email form?

[munkee]

Hi all,

I have made a form to send emails and store them as an archive for individual records they are related to. The script accepts html and it has got to the point where it is becoming tedious to keep typing html out to format my email as I wish. If I do not use the html the email just turns in to a long string without any formatting.

Does anyone know of a good control set out there or examples where people have created a kind of WYSIWYG html editor for their access form? or suggestions on how I can speed all of this up?

Thanks,

Chris

What version of Access are you using. Supposedly, rich text editing is supported in Access 2007 (I have 2003 at work, so I can't confirm). Also, Google Stephen Leban - he has a rich text editor for Access.

In 2003, I think the only way to accomplish what you're looking for is to use something like Mr. Leban's custom control. I have personally never used it, but I have heard second hand that it works

One suggestion I would make is if these are standardised emails I would store them as templates and use the templates when sending emails.
