<font face='Verdana'><font size=2>I am developing a content management system for a large site and have run into a problem.

I have a database (Access 2000) with the following fields: <b>ID</b>(autonumber, key); <b>cms_poc</b>(email address for the point of contact); <b>cms_doctype</b> (specifies whether the document should be listed under memos, press releases, etc.); <b>cms_title</b> (single line title for a listings page); <b>cms_headline</b> (displays headline in h1 tag); <b>cms_content</b> (a multiline memo field in which the content of the memo, press release, whatever is stored); and <b>cms_date</b> (stores the date the record was inserted).

This is the problem: the data in the <b>cms_content</b> field writes to the page with no formatting whatsoever, not even line breaks. This happens even when I include html tags around the text submitted via form (this simply formats the text in the 'view source pages).

The code I am using to write to the document is this <font color=red><font face='Courier New'>rs_cms.Fields.Item("cms_content".Value)</font id='Courier New'></font id=red> (sorry, couldn't figure our how to write asp and html tags without them running...)

I want the administrators to be able to format their documents with bold, italic, etc... In fact, the system for posting here on UDZone is *awesome* and I would love to be able to build something similar. In the meantime, I just need something relatively basic.

If this is too long to post here, you can email me at .

Thanks in advance,
Ian Kennedy

well, you can use the same system that UDZone uses for their CMS
