I have a table that contains a memo field formated as Rich Text. The text looks fine when entering and viewing in a form but when I try to extract data from it and use it there are HTML tags in it (ie <dv> or &nbsp, etc). Specifically I am just pulling the data in VBA via Me.TextBoxName and passing it to an Outlook object to send an automatated e-mail. It all works fine except the user gets this all these extra tags in their e-mail text. I looked at the code and can see that the html tags are there before it gets passed to the e-mial function so I know it doesn't have anything to do with Outlook. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
