The DB was originally on Windows. Apparently, Filemaker uses a "vertical tab character" to represent carriage returns within a field. When expoerting from FM to CSV, these characters are converted to an "ASCII 11" character. If I try the following on a CF page, the "ASCII 11" characters are replaced with line breaks (which is what they should be): #Replace(myRecordset.myField,"#chr(11)#","<br>","all")# I guess I will replace all "ASCII 11" characters in the DB with <br>'s. These charcaters are causing most of the problems. The others are things like "TM" and apostrophe charcters that FM uses. I will look for the ASCII representations of these and do a separate find and replace to handle. Unless anyone has a better idea... :) Thanks!
