Access - HTML tags subscript, superscript, font size

A

Ana

Does Access 2000 or higher support HTML tags such as subscript,
superscript, fonts, font sizes, etc? I need my Access database tables
to have these features. I am able to get Italics, underline, and
bold.

Please suggest.

Thanks!

No, Access does not support HTML markup. You can export reports in HTML, but
that doesn't seem to be what you want.

You can use a custom control that comes with the Developer Edition of Office
2000 or Office XP or the Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003 System to
display Rich Text which handles the formatting you describe (but it does not
handle HTML). There are also third-party tools for Rich Text... one is from
FMS, Inc. http://www.fmsinc.com.

Because HTML is simply text, Access will _store_ it in any Text Field, but
you'd need a control that "understands" it to display.
