Using restrocted characters in text box

[Charlix]

I have a multi-line text box on an asp page that I want the user to enter data.

<Text Area Name= "Comments" Rows = 10 Cols = 30 > </Text Area>

The data is saved to a Microsoft Access 2000 database in a 'memo' data type field.

The information stores properly in the database (i.e., if I examine the database, the information is there). However, it will not display on the asp page if there is a carriage-return in the data. If there is no carriage-return everything is OK.

What can I do to fix this problem?

<Text Area Name= "Comments" Rows = 10 Cols = 30 > </Text Area>

first of all ... textarea doesn't have a space in it
secondly you're not responsing out the data into it :

<TextArea Name= "Comments" Rows = 10 Cols = 30><%=Server.HTMLEncode(RSobj("Memofield"))%> </TextArea>

Sorry, but the suggestion to use <%=Server.HTMLEncode(RSobj("memofield))%> did not work. I get the error message

Type Mismatch RSobj

because RS Obj is sample code, you need to change this out for whatever value you're sing to populate the form, the pagee isn't going to pull a miss cleo and know what to put inside the text area from your database unless you tell it.
