RTF String and Rich Textbox Control

[Neal]

Help please

I have data in an access database (I can convert to excel
if it would help) where one of the fields has data that is
in an RTF String. The application that uses this database
can't export the data in the field at all. Is there a way
using a Rich Textbox Control or some other way to convert
the data to a plain text.

I am looking to import the data into excel, but need basic
text

TIA

Neal

Your RichTextBox control exposes a .Text property, which is just the text
without formatting. The field that houses this data is a simple Memo field,
and thus is no help ... you could write a parser that would search the field
and strip the formatting code before sending it to Excel

Can you give me a simple example?

Many TIA
