Afternoon everyone!

I am at a loss right now and hopeful someone can help me in this news group. I have created an access db and various tables. I need to copy and
paste information from a web site (press releases) into a long field in this access db.... When I do this the formatting attributes change to a
straight text string (paragraph formats and carriage returns are removed) upon saving the change.

Is there a way I can change the field attributes so that the field can retain the basic layout and formatting so it is easier to read for the user?

Also - related - can an ACCESS field retain/read HTML or SHTML code?

Hi:
Take a look at this:

You need to check with them about use within Access. A lot of VB
controls do work in Access.
I haven't looked at the price as I've never needed to do this.

Good luck.
