Hi,

What is needed or what do I need to do to to display text on screen coming from a DB to appear
the exact same way that I put it in the database. Im using UltraDev 4 on a Mac, using an Access
DB and viewing it thru ASP.
When I view a page that is pulling text from the DB it appears all bunched up no line breaks (&lt;BR&gt<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
But when I view that same information in a update form it will display it the way it properly is.

Can anyone out there help me??, Please ??

Thanks
Pauliostro

When you wish to display the text complete with line breaks modify the code from this:

&lt;%= RecordsetName.Fields.Item("YourMemoFieldName".Value %&gt;

To this:

&lt;%= Replace(RecordsetName.Fields.Item("YourMemoFieldName".Value, VbCrLf, "&lt;BR&gt;" %&gt;

Owen.
