RTF control

[SF]

Hi,

I have a database for recroding proposals in my unit. Each proposals has a
descriptive part that use Khmer script (thru legacy font).

Since Access does not handle RTF very well (limited to legacy font), I have
opted to use FMS's Total Access Memo.

I want to know whether Total Access Memo is fit for using with Access 2003?
or if someone has any problem using Total Access memo is the past?

Hi SF,

I have Total Access Memo for Access 2002. It works fine for most of my
needs, although it does not support Unicode. So, for example, you cannot have
rich text with Chinese, Japanese, Korean or any other language that requires
Unicode. (My wife was rather disappointed with this limitation, as she is a
Korean-American).

There is also a free RTF control available on Stephen Lebans' web site. It's
not as full-featured as Total Access Memo, but it's also not as expensive
<smile>

Access 2007 includes built-in support for rich text, as long as you are
using the newer ACE (.accdb) file format. However, a major 'gotcha' is that
they choose to store the text as HTML. Therefore, there is no smooth
migration path from an earlier version Access app. that includes either TAM
or Stephen's control to use the built-in support. You would have to manually
re-enter all of the rich text to use the built-in capability in Access 2007.

I use it with A03, and haven't had any problems.

Hi Neil,

Of course, Word HTML has a lot of extra code in it.

The HTML output produced by Word is "Fugly", to put it in a term acceptable
for posting! <smile>
