Textbox formating

[PeteCan]

I have an asp page with a form in it. There are several large textboxes on the form, similar to this one.
When users enter the text they can space everything out nicely with paragraphs etc, but then when the data is extracted from the database to view it comes in one long text line with paragraphs etc removed. How can I get around this?

try this...

strText = Replace(objRS("TextField"),vbcrlf,"<BR>")

Thanks for this, one question though. Do you I put this on the page which writes the information to the database or the one that reads the data from the database?

On the page that writes to the database.

Personally, I would put it on the page that reads from the database. Sorry mattygriff

I tried it on the read one and it works. Thanks
