I have this code lying around... what it does is remove all HTML tags leaving the text.

VB Code:
  1. Private Sub Command1_Click()
  2.  
  3.    Dim strWorking As String
  4.    Dim strOutput As String
  5.    Dim lngPosLessThan As Long
  6.    
  7.    strWorking = Text1.Text
  8.    Do While Len(strWorking) > 0
  9.       If Left(strWorking, 1) = "<" Then
  10.          strWorking = Mid(strWorking, InStr(1, strWorking, ">") + 1)
  11.       Else
  12.          lngPosLessThan = InStr(1, strWorking, "<")
  13.          If lngPosLessThan > 0 Then
  14.             'Move non-Tag string to strOutput
  15.             strOutput = strOutput & Left(strWorking, lngPosLessThan - 1)
  16.             strWorking = Mid(strWorking, InStr(1, strWorking, "<"))
  17.          Else   'no other tag in string.
  18.             strOutput = strOutput & strWorking
  19.             strWorking = ""
  20.          End If
  21.       End If
  22.    Loop
  23.    Text2.Text = strOutput
  24. End Sub

In case your willing to enhance it to fit your needs.
