RTF word count?

[kaplooeymom]

I'm using Lebans RTF control in Access 2003. I'm looking for a way to
get accurate word counts for a field - not including the rich text
markup. I'm trying to avoid pasting the field into word, getting the
word count then discarding the document.

Thanks in advance.

WordCount = Len([MyString])-Len(Replace([MyString]," ","")) + 1

The Microsoft RTF control does not expose a Word Count property. Other
than writing a routine to parse the RTF file and calculate the word
count you will have to use Automation with MS Word(no copying and
pasting is required).

I didn't really expect you to have put in a word count property, so I
was looking for some one who'd already done the parsing. I guess I'll
just have to do it myself, or use automation. This is a personal tool
anyway - no biggie.
