I'm setting up a resolutions database where each resolution will be
copied from Word documents and pasted into a memo field. The resolution
will be in the form:
Resolution title <cr>
Project no <cr>
Date <cr>
Meeting Type <cr>
Resolution (up to several paragraphs separated by carriage returns
etc).
eg:
Inquiry into sportsground management
35002
20/07/06
Board Meeting
"That in relation to this issue we write to xyz, etc..."
The resolutions are often quite long and their formatting complex,
which precludes converting the memo into a table first up in Word. I
also want to copy each resolution with its formatting intact because as
well as being pasted into a text field it is also pasted into an rtf
field using Leban's rich text control. Each resolution has to be copied
manually - there is a lot of other stuff in the documents from which
they will be copied, which makes it difficult to do this
programatically - so I want to make the pasting into the Access table
as painless as possible.
Once the resolution is pasted into the text field, I simply want to
select and copy the first line only (the Resolution title) and paste it
into a text field in the same table. The line itself doesn't have to be
parsed - I'm happy to take everything as far as the carriage return.
I've seen a range of possible solutions but the've all tended to trying
to do something much more complex, like splitting lines into separate
words, etc (also my programming experience is fairly limited, espcially
in Access).
Ideally I'd like to be able to do the same to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
lines, but this is not essential - its the first line that's the most
important as I want to have a resolutions title field.
Thanks

Should give you everything upto the 1st <cr>, Resolution title would have to
be on the 1st line.

Hi folks,
I have an Access 2000 db with a memo field.
Into the memo field I put text with bold attributes, URL etc etc
What I need to to is converting the rich text contained into the memo
field in plain text.
That's because I truncate the string text but if, when I truncate it
there's a rich tag the code following the truncated string is corrupted.
Don't know if it's clear enough.

I have a memo field that is included in some Access reports I created.
Is there some way for the memo field to display nicely formatted text,

I tried exporting a report by using the .rtf rich-text format (the
plain-text format was the only other word-processing option listed
when exporting). I then opened the .rtf file in Word. However, it

Hello, help please.
I have a little macro that copies the date from a date/time field to a
memo field, BUT instead of going to the memo field it finds the first
date/time field and tries to copy there.
My first thought is to change the date to text but how?
Thanks!!!

I got some unexpected behavior in getattr and copy.deepcopy (see

I'm not sure this is even feasible. What I want to do is create a
command button. When this command button is pressed, it taes field
values and puts them into text format. I think I know how to do this
part thru code. Then I want to copy this text to the clipboard so
that I can paste it into a memo field. This is the part I need help
with.
I will create the text by the following method on the On Click Event

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
