Default How do I get HTML codes in an Excel Spreadsheet to display or conv

Hi folks, Thanks for taking the time to look and help out!

I have data coming from an SQL db and some of the fields of my report have
been formatted via VBA to do things like convert email strings into actual
email links, and some of the data is just plain text.

My problem is that one of the fields has imbedded HTML codes that were
created by the original app and stored within that field in the SQL db. Only
some of the records have the formatting but when they do, it is typically for
text formatting, but occassionally to imbed links. I need to have Excel
interpret these HTML codes in this one field back to the text formatting and
links that they represent.

Here is an example:
<html<bodyFolder to contain requirments <brejected</b because they are
duplicates.</body</html

How to I get Excel 2003 (or 2007 if necessary) to convert the HTML?
If it can be "converted", can Excel interpret or view the HTML? If not, can
it be stripped out?


Thanks in advance for your ideas!
