Carriage returns/formatting not displayed in output.asp

[Doc Wally]

Dear Colleagues:



To begin with I am not a programmer. In fact, I just got all excited
because I was able to create my very first .vbs script that actually
worked - not that I actually coded it, I took bits and pieces from here and
there and boom, it worked.



As lame as it is, I have used Front Page 2002 and its form/database creation
tools to create an input.asp page, a input.msd access database file as well
as an output.asp page going the DNS-Less route. As you guessed it, people
stick information into the input.asp document and then it spits out to the
output.asp file with the data stored in the actual fpdb directory which
holds simple Access databases.



Here is my dilemma.



When people either cut/paste things into the MEMO field of their input form
formatting, carriage returns, etc, are not carried over to the output.



Essentially

They

Want their

Information

To sort of come out

Looking like this



(Ideally with all of the boldface, underlines, etc. that they are oh so
attached to after using MS Word)



No matter how you enter it into the input form the information comes out in
one long, continuous stream.



I have attached herewith the input, output and actual database files and if
there is anybody out there who could give me some advise it would be greatly
appreciated.



Regards,



Doc Wally

Replace vbCrLf with <BR> when outputting the data in a web page.

You're no better then Bob (please see post "Please help with IF EOF TRUE").
Chill Ray, it's Friday. The weekend is coming. Have a beer.
The poor poster said he was not a programmer and just wrote his first VB
script.
You just scared him off for good. He'll never come back to this newsgroup.

I did apologize.

Bob

[Raymond D'Anjou \(raydan\)]

Sorry guys, didn't see the Please and didn't see the Apology.
Man... I need a beer, and a cigarette, and a break. :-(

Well, I can see why you missed my apology: I misspelled "Goran" - GROAN :-)

And I work with a guy named Goran ...I hope it wasn't he ... nah.

Almost time to go home :-)

Okay

You are all EVIL little bastards. Die pigs, die!!

I have had bad days as well and, well eat the peanuts from my crap.

For what its worth, my cross posting, multi posting and breaking all of the
other "rules" in these groups got somebody to steer me in the right
direction. Now the problem is solved, carriage returns are coming over
nicely along with bullets and, because of somebody else, I am driving myself
nuts learning about as much about asp this weekend, and next week so that
everything will come over including underlines and the like.

Yeah, I suck at coding, its my weakness but I am not offended by the flames.
We all have those days and, if truth be known, even after flaming me I would
give out my weekend to help out a colleague in distress.

So poo poo on you
