Did you try checking to see if it's a trailing carriage return? You can check for it using the right() function and the constant VbCrLf for carriage return line feed. Dan

That data is sometimes getting blank characters(or some kind of character). You can't see it. Anyway, I have tried using ASP's Trim funtion but that didn't work. Could someone maybe tell me what kind of (hidden maybe) ascii character to maybe look for? What I mean is, if you position your cursor at the end of the text in the text area, the cursur is right at the end (where it should be). But, if you select the text, you'll see a blank character at the end of the line. Does any of this make sense? Thanks, Barry ________________________________ YAHOO!
