html control

[Mark Andrews]

I am building email templates into an access database where I let the user
define the email body and merge fields. Everything works fine.

For html emails, I want a way to make the html display on a form and let the
user edit the html and apply various html formatting to the html (just basic
html formatting doesn't need to get to complicated).

Anyone know of a good html control that will work with Access2007? I see a
few out there.

On another note anyone have experience in integration with Constant Contact
or other email services?
I need to look into this the options for anything other than small mailings.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Mark

There is a built in Rich Textbox in Access 2007, that should work, and there
is a free control at Stephen Lebans' website:

That should work in all versions from Access 97 on. FMS, also has an
excellent control.

Do those do HTML (not just RTF)?
