Hi,Years ago I took a large number of notes in Dataperfect for my dissertation research. I used some large text fields in which I entered multiple paragraphs of notes, and I used carriage returns to break paragraphs within these text fields (the ability to do this was one of the things that made DP such a good product for historical research). Now I'm trying to export my old DP data into a new database (Bento) but it seems that the CRs that I put into my text fields are being written to the export file and interpreted as record delimiters by the import program. The data gets out of sync as soon as the import program hits the first in-text CR. I'm limited to either CSV or tab-delimited import. Is there a way to export the data so that something other than a CR gets written to the export file inside the text field? Or failing that, is there a way to find/replace all those CRs in my text fields so that during export CRs only appear as record delimiters?--hopefully while preserving my paragraph breaks. I'm a little hazy about the ASCII code that is being written here and for that matter about exactly how I entered those paragraph breaks those 10+ years ago. I believe I entered them by hitting the Enter key, though perhaps sometimes I used Shift+Enter--not sure if that writes a different code. Any help you can offer would be most appreciated. Thanks,Ron
