Is there a way to copy a RTF text from a memo field in Access Database to Word document using VBA. I have this code at the moment but it produces html text (the text include
Note that the "Rich Text" option for Memo fields does not store the formatted text as RTF. The formatted text is stored as HTML, which is why you were seeing HTML tags in your text.
The following Access VBA code creates a Word document that contains formatted text and is saved as .rtf. If you're not committed to using RTF then the code could easily be modified to save the document as .doc or .docx.
Sub FormattedTextToWord()
Dim objWord As Object ' Word.Application
Dim fso As Object ' FileSystemObject
Dim f As Object ' TextStream
Dim myHtml As String, tempFileSpec As String
' grab some formatted text from a Memo field
myHtml = DLookup("Comments", "MyTable", "ID=101")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") ' New FileSystemObject
tempFileSpec = fso.GetSpecialFolder(2) & "\" & fso.GetTempName & ".htm"
' write to temporary .htm file
Set f = fso.CreateTextFile(tempFileSpec, True)
f.Write "<html>" & myHtml & "</html>"
f.Close
Set f = Nothing
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") ' New Word.Application
objWord.Documents.Add
objWord.Selection.InsertFile tempFileSpec
fso.DeleteFile tempFileSpec
' the Word document now contains formatted text
objWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 "C:\Users\Public\zzzTest.rtf", 6 ' 6 = wdFormatRTF
objWord.Quit
Set objWord = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
End Sub
