I'm creating a form on MS Access 2003 that will send out a html email newsletter to a list of email addresses. How do I put a preview button into my form that will let me preview my email before I send it? I think I have to use an active-x control, but I have no idea where to start.

It doesn't seem to say anything about activex controls. I'm trying to figure out which activex control will let me preview the html as it would appear in a web browser. – dmr Dec 14 '09 at 15:39

The third link on my page there referenced Lebans' HTML Editor page. – Tony Toews Dec 18 '09 at 01:07

Add a web browser object (active x control). Navigate to about:blank, then call myBrowserObject.Document.Write("all yor html).

I would be a little careful about assuming a web browser will show HTML in the same way as email. Outlook is not happy with CSS, for the most part. – Fionnuala Dec 18 '09 at 01:12

A2KSHTML.zip is an HTML Editor built around the MS Web Browser control.
In Access 2007 you can set a memo field's TextFormat property to RichText. See Insert or add a rich text field
