memo field not wrapping in table cell

[new2unix]

Hi,

The memo field from an Access database I am trying to display in a table does not seem to be wrapping even when the table column has a width parameter. The whole table column width gets expanded according to the length of the memo data. Is there something I can do to wrap the memo data according to the hard-coded width of the cell?

<td class=&quot;content&quot; width=&quot;200&quot;>#Replace(Replace(Description,&quot;#chr(10)#&quot;,&quot;<BR>&quot;,&quot;ALL&quot,&quot; &quot;, &quot;&nbsp;&quot;, &quot;ALL&quot#&nbsp;</td>

Thanks

Mike

Does the data in the database have line breaks etc. If so you may be able to preserve the output of the field by placing it between <pre></pre> tags.

Hi Kola,

I tried the <pre></pre> but decided to use the replace function to put in the <BR> instead. But <pre> is another choice too. Thanks.

The problem I had was the memo field seemed to be causing the table cell to expand when the length of the line is longer than the width I gave to the cell. But another text field wrap according to the width of cell. I am trying to avoid the memo field expand the cell to far off to the right and the user would have to scroll to the right.
