In my Access code I need to open an rtf file and convert it to plain text for output. I don't want to actually import the rtf file because my db will get too large too quick.

I'm already using the following to open a file for binary reading.
Open txtfiletoupload For Binary Access Read As #1
ReDim ByteImage(1 To LOF(1))
Get #1, , ByteImage
Close #1

is there similar quick and easy code that will let me do something like?


Open txtfiletoupload for conversion to PlainText

many thanks
