I feel stupid but I am at a total loss..after Updating or Inserting to an rs the table/td where the rs element is placed is not wrapping but simply growing wider despite their widths being set. This does NOT occr when I cut and paste from a Word DOC to the form field. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Do you mean that when displaying text fom a memo field in the database that the New line formatting is lost?

In which case display the memo field on the page like this:

<% = Replace(RecordsetName.Fields.Item("FieldName".Value, VbCrLf, "<BR>"%>


Or do you mean that the Dynamic Text is too wide when you drag it into a table cell on the page while working in design view?

In which case go to the Site window > Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements then at the bottom change Show Dynamic Text As: From this {Recordset.Field} to this {}. All dynamic text on in design view will be shown as just a pair of curly brackets, instead of a long Recordset value which screws up your table widths.

Although I don't understand Vb to the degree needed your Replace looked like the fix I needed but did nothing to save my table/td widths. I think you understand my problem, yes when typing multi-line text into an Insert or Update form to Access 2000 the UD recordset field, we'll call it "memo1", simply continues east ...forever, without wrapping...still
Thanks

Sorry everyone...turned out to be a real simple one...thanks to you who helped...in my testing I was typing continuously in the form/memo field. The simple addition of one space character allowed the table boundaries to work
