ALL,

I have to strip tags out of a line of text like <bold>..<Body> etc. I have
to delete the carrots as well..


Thanks Much,

Tom
 
While there is probably code out ther in VB land to act as an HTML to
Text parser there may be a couple of simpler solutions.

1) Embedd the MS Internet Explorer ActiveX control on a hidden form.
Copy your HTML string to the control then read the control's text
property. To get you started see:

or

2) Copy the HTML text to the ClipBoard. Then ask the Clipboard for plain
text. You will have to search for VB API clipboard routines as Access
does not expose a ClipBoard object.
