this is strange, but i was tired of trying to work it out on my own, so if anyone can help please do...

On an update page i created using ASP & Access DB all fields to be updated show the initial values pulled out of the database except when i use a textarea form box. Has anyone else run into this problem before?? All my variable names are correct.

this works:
<input type="text" name="frm_contact" value="<%=(rsEventInfo.Fields.Item("contact".Value)%>">


this does not work:
<textarea name="frm_eventdescription" rows="3" valu="<%=(rsEventInfo.Fields.Item("eventdescription".Value)%>"></textarea>

thanks
