When you display the text, using ColdFusion, you need to replace the line feeds with "<br>" tags. There may be a custom tag or UDF that already does this since it is such a common issue.

The input goes to an Access database with a "memo" field. My problem is, if they type one or more carriage returns, the text in the "memo" field does not reflect that, and obviously when the comments are displayed on the browser they look like one long paragraph instead of several shorter ones (separated by carriage returns) as the visitor intended. Any solutions for this?
