Saving Carriage Return from TextArea in ASP

[denaex]

I am using a form in HTML to record user input into a large textarea. The user may input 20 rows by 80 columns. How do I indicate each rows carriage return before I store this to an access database using ASP and them retrieve the data using ASP with carriage returns when I display and print this form out? Should I be using another means of recording this huge area? Should I ask the user to record one line at a time?

Thanks from the land of Anxious Users

You may put html tag <br> when line breaks.You can ignore line break using VB String Constant vbCrLf.
You can use this while recording in database but in this case you enter much more chars (<br>) in your db when line breaks.
Keep clean your db by using this code while printing on screen.

vMessage=Server.HtmlEncode(vMessage)
vMessage = Replace(vMessage, vbCrLf, &quot;<br>&quot
Response.Write vMessage
