Anyone Know Of An ActiveX Object That Displays Document Contents (Like A EULA)?

[CaliKidd]

Is anyone aware of a free (or very low cost) ActiveX object that will allow me to put the contents of a semi-lengthy document on a userform?

The type of object I am referring to is much like what you see when you view an End User License Agreement. It is read-only and has scrollbars in the event the content is longer than what is able to fit into the viewable window.

I have more text (~ 2 pages) to include that what a basic text object can support. It seems like this would be a fairly common form object, but I'm not sure what Reference Library may have something like this.

Any ideas?

You should be able to use a textbox and change the scrollbars property to

fmScrollBarsVertical

you can then copy and paste your text into the textbox.

Or create a simple userform with a scrolling text box. This also allows you to add option buttons ("I accept"/"I decline"), check boxes ("I have read") and command buttons ("OK").

Thanks guys, I thought the text control had a 255 character limit, but I was wrong. I should have tested it first.
