Hi,
Is it possible that when including a recordest with name link and description to only show say the first 3 lines of the description on the master page.

Coz, some of the descriptions are quite hefty and i dont want people having to trawl through 10 pages to find the tool they want.

access 2000 db, UD4, asp/vb script is my set up. cheers for any feedback.

Its not so easy to specify the amount of lines but it is dead simple to limit the amount of characters returned.

just change the bit of code that says...

Recordset.Fields.Item("DescriptionField".Value

to read

Left(Recordset.Fields.Item("DescriptionField".Value, 100)

(where 100 is the amount of characters you want)

Cheers
