    Steven,
    What does the C-Enter do that differs from <enter> ? If C-Enter it is stored in the Memo field, it can be masked into <BR> or <P>. I`ll run some experiment.

    Is there a way to preserve paragraphs while displaying memo fields using ASP-db?

    Steven,
    Good News, the C-Enter generates OD OA and can be replaced by <br> easily in the grid cell. In dbFormMemo, the CR LF is already supported. Look for this feature in the next release(s).

    Paragraphs in Memo Fields

    I have the following entered into a memo field in an Access 97 database:

    "Paragraph one.
    Paragraph two.

    Skip a line to paragraph three."

    The Return at the end of each paragraph is entered using Ctrl-ENTER. And it displays fine in Access. But when it is displayed in either form or grid mode with MyDb.dbMemoTextSize=-1, the text is displayed as:

    "Paragraph one. Paragraph two. Skip a line to paragraph three."

    Steven,
    There will be a new keyword in the next release in dbOptions="MemoParagraph=xx", where xx can be <p>, <br> or <hr> or anything. That would take care of the paragraph break you are inquiring about. So just wait for the new release. I do not know when that would be (< 10 days I am guessing.)

    Frank,

    When you say "can be replaced by <br> easily in the grid cell," does this mean that ASP-db has a mechanism for doing the replace as data is read from the database? How is this done?
