Rich Textbox Control alternatives?

D

Dean Slindee

I have an Access 2003 front-end application with a SQL Server 2000 backend.
Inside the application is a Microsoft Rich TextBox Control, Version 6. The
control formats and displays a text column in a table that contains the
content of a Word document.

This all works fine in the application. However, Windows Update has been
unregistering the Rich Textbox Control on the user's pc most times it runs.
Submitting this problem to Microsoft, we have determined that RichTx32.ocx
has a KillBit set to not reregister itself when accosted by Windows Update.
The KillBit is set to not reregister, because the .ocx is determined to be
unsafe in it's Save operation. Of course, once RichTx32.ocx is
unregistered, the application will not start up.

So, we have a pre-.Net control that works inside Access, but is
(legitimately) unregistered by Windows Update now in the .Net security era.

Does anyone know of a comparable (Microsoft?) Rich Textbox control that
would be .Net era safe (no KillBit), and be usable in Access 2003?

Or, perhaps Access 2007 has another alternative?
