I have an HTML form with a textarea input. When the form is submitted, I have and adodb.recordset object that stores the textarea text into an access table memo field.<br><br>Now, I want to preserve carriage returns and line feeds that the user keys into the text area. If I simply store the data into the memo field as is with no intrusion on my part, and do a response.write the memo field, It merely puts a space where there should be a crlf. If I do a response.write of each asc(character) in the memo field, it actually stores the proper codes for the crlf (i.e. 1310).<br><br>So then I went through and found all the 1310 values in the field and replaced them with chr(13)chr(10). Guess what? Now, in the memo field of the access table, I can actually scroll down in the field, and it's how I want it. But if I try and reponse.write it, I still get spaces instead of crlf's. <br><br>All I want to do is spit back the memo field as it was entered in the textarea. Any ideas? help me? please?
