Sure thing...note that I amusing a somewhat strange field separator
@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
It is a aggregator made up of four fields.
Field 1 is a string with validation to ensure only numbers can be entered.
Field 2 is styled as a text area. It appears I can enter line breaks and
that these get saved to the database. However, they do not appear to be
retrievable and displayable...the entire aggregate showing up blank.
thx!

Here is the snippet from the form definition file:
<fd:aggregatefield id="taskaggregate" required="false">
<fd:label/>
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:split pattern="(.*)@!#-_-#!@(.*)">
<fd:map group="1" field="part1"/>
<fd:map group="2" field="part2"/>
</fd:split>
<fd:combine expression = 'Concat(NVL(part1, ""), "@!#-_-#!@", NVL(part2,
""))'/>
<fd:widgets>
<fd:field id="part1" required="false">
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:help>Help info 3</fd:help>
<fd:validation>
<fd:regexp pattern="[-+]?([0-9]*\.)?[0-9]+([eE][-+]?[0-9]+)?">
<fd:failmessage>Only decimals (numbers) are allowed here.</fd:failmessage>
</fd:regexp>
</fd:validation>
<fd:on-value-changed/>
</fd:field>
<fd:field id="part2" required="false">
<fd:datatype base="string"/>
<fd:validation/>
</fd:field>
</fd:widgets>
</fd:aggregatefield>
Here is the snippet from the form styling file:

style="font-size: 9pt" face="Arial">Customer Number</font></td>
<td valign="top"><ft:aggregate-widget id="taskaggregate"><ft:widget

I enter even a single line break in the Text Area widget that is part
of the Aggregator widget.
It is able to save it with line breaks to the database--it is only on
retrieval that it the Aggregator seems to have difficulty due to the
line breaks.
With aggregator you mean the aggregate field widget [1]? Can you show some
code?
