Yeah, I'm trying to get out of the general field and I'd like to be able to pull strictly from the memo field and display in an edit box on the screen. How would I do the html conversion?


>Convert to html and keep a common stylesheet at hand... which is a bit hard to organize and safeguard from accidental change, but is at least a worldwide standard, not just one vendor's internal and half-abandoned format.

Ok, first reason is off, every flavor of them Windowses comes with at least Wordpad, which can handle rtf, but general fields require a COM server registered for that particular type of file - and what if one was registered and then uninstalled? The re-registration of the file type to another app does not happen automatically (but the customer call does!). HTML is still less headache.
