InView Advanced HTML Editor
The Professional HTML Editor Built for Microsoft Access
InView HTML Editor is a self-contained rich text editor built for Microsoft Access and WebView2. Delivered as a single HTML file requiring no installation, no server, and no external dependencies, it provides a professional editing environment that slots directly into any Access application — turning a standard WebView2 control into a fully-featured content authoring platform your users will actually want to use.
Most Access developers who need rich text in a form end up with a basic RichTextBox, a third-party OCX control that breaks on deployment, or a cobbled-together workaround. InView takes a different approach: a single, portable HTML file that loads inside a WebView2 control and exposes a comprehensive two-way VBA API. Your Access application gains a production-grade editor with no installer, no registry entries, no COM references, and no licensing costs. Drop the file in, point your WebView2 at it, and you are running.
Summary
InView HTML Editor gives Access developers something that has not previously existed: a genuinely professional, feature-complete rich text editor that integrates with VBA as a first-class citizen. Every feature — from mail merge to custom dictionary sync to the VBA Event Log — was designed with the Access integration model in mind. The result is an editor your users can work in comfortably and your VBA code can drive precisely, all from a single file you can ship alongside your database with no additional infrastructure whatsoever.
