Thanks but it couldn't help.
I need exactly the opposite.
I have formatted (rich text or rtf text I don't know) text and I would
convert it into plain text.
But a text field can't contain bold reference so it must exist a way to
strip the formatting codes from a memo field...

ASP doesn't know what "rich text" is. All that's stored in the
database is a big string.
Maybe some of the following could help:

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.
Just to summarize:
1) memo field cointaining rich text
2) I need to transform it in plain text
Thanks in advance
