Paul... I'm presuming that your user is entering a description that could contain paragraphs breaks into a textarea.
If that is so, then the way to emulate this in your output is to use the following replace: #replace(your.variable, chr(13), '<br>', "all")# This will replace any carriage return in your textarea text with a <br>.

Just another thought on this area. I want to be able to display the text in th enews item description as the user enterd it to the form. Really just the layout (<cr> etc) and not the font or size or anything. <pre> </pre> seems to screw it up big time. Is there anything in SQL server in the datatypes that will preserve the text as typed ...?
