I have an html file open on an rtftextbox in my project.

Can you point me to some code that would show and easy way to remove
the HTML tags?

Thanks.

If you're willing to use regular expressions, the sequence below will
locate them for you... translating that into VBScripts' RegEx
functions is up to you ;-)

<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\b[^>]*>(.*?)</\1>
