Greetings,

I'm attempting to make a threaded discussion forum (not unlike tek-tips) and am having difficulty formatting the outputted text from each thread.

I'm using an Access db and have assigned a data type of "Memo" to the body of each thread. However, this doesn't preserve page breaks, etc...

Can anybody clue me in on a way to correct this?

Thanks:)
 
When you spit the memo column back onto a web page you need to replace the carriage return-line feed character with "<br/>" just like in Classic ASP. If you bind the column to a multi-line text box control the breaks should be retained.
