Hi,
I have some MEMO fields wich contains HTML code (very simple code, <strong>
<i> lables and so).
I need to print them in a report RENDERED as they would be sown in a web
browser. ¿is there any control to do it?
Thanks a lot.
 
The short answer unfortunately is no. You would require an ActiveX
control on the report to display the HTML source.

The MS Web Browser control can be used to display the HMTL on a form but
it will not ouput it's contents during the printing process for a Form
or Report. The control supports an output method and therefore can
render its contents directly to the printer independantly of the
report/form.

I'm thinking on something... What about WORD? if i feed an ole control
with the contents of the memo field, MSWord would render a bit of HTML code?
What do you think about this silly thought? could you even understand my
english phrases? :)
Thanks again in advance.
 
Please, i need your help...

I don't believe you can change the contents of the OLE control at
runtime. I'm not 100% sure as it has been a while since I have tested
this.
There is no simple alternative solution. If your HTML is basic stuff
then you could insert my RTF control on your report and:
1) Copy the HTML string to the Clipboard. WIndows will automatically
convert it to RTF.
2) Copy the converted RTF from the Clipboard to my RTF control
