Trouble printing data from Sharepoint that is tagged with HTML

I've exported data from SharePoint Portal to a linked Access Table and want
to print it.

Unfortunately one of the fields contains HTML markup formatting information
which is printed as is. This makes the report unreadable because of the
printed tags.

Any ideas??

The ideal solution would tell Access Reports to render the field based on
the HTML markup. e.g. <b>hi</b> would actually print "hi" in bold.
 
Hi David,

Welcome to use MSDN Managed Newsgroup!

From your descriptions, I understood your data was in HTML format and you
want a parsed text version of the HTML. If I have misunderstood your
concern, please feel free to point it out.

It is not an easy job to do so. You may try

1. Parse the HTML yourself. Unfortunately, you will have to customize the
code yourself. Put the string data from Sharepoint into a function and then
parse it into proper format.

2. Use Web Browser control. Save the string data from Sharepoint as a html
file and then use Web Broswer control to display the file.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
assistance!

There is something here that i don't understand.

Sharpoint is a key microsoft product as is Access.

When i enter content into SharePoint i can format the content using Bold,
Bulleted List etc.

I can export to Access from SharePoint.

All well and good, but ..

Are you saying that Access simply can't work with SharePoint data correctly?
 
Hi David,

Yes, Access is not able to work with Sharepoint easily. Access is maily
focused on small data management while Sharepoint is used for
document/resources sharing.

Ok,
Then which 'rich client' should i use to work with Sharepoint data in a
meaningful way - for rendition purposes.
 
Hi David,

I am not familiar with Sharepoint so much, you may raise this question in
the SharePoint newsgroup, which is also a managed newsgroup:
microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices

Also, if you still want to use Access. You may consider call SharePoints
Web Services from Access.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, don't hesitate to let me know. We are always here to be of
