Do a test and just pull the description field and display it on the
page...If your database is only pulling the text to the first double quote,
you may have to replace the quotes with another character when you insert it
into the db, then replace them again when you pul it out.

Just use jeff's example on the string before you put it into the textbox...
<cfset description=Replace(txtcomment,"'","''","all")>
<cfset description=Replace(txtcomment,"""","""""","all">
then put temp into the textbox via the value="#description#" attribute of
the textbox
<input type="text" name="Task" value="#Description#" size="70"
maxlength="600">

okay, let me restate -- I have a string of characters*:
-->Assign the patient to one of several hundred "diagnosis-related groups,"
or DRG's, using appropriate computer software. <--
This saves and can be found in the database just fine. Now when I try to
output this text into a text box:
<input type="text" name="Task" value="#Description#" size="70"
maxlength="600">
The string is truncated to:
-->Assign the patient to one of several hundred <--
* - BTW, I used --> to be the beginning of the string and <-- to be the end.
