Although it is good to provide as much info as possible, please don't post
200k of data such as databases and asp pages etc unless it is neccessary or
asked for. All you needed to do, in this instance, is post the description
of your problem.

If you have carriage returns in text stored in your DB and you want that
shown on screen;

sMyText = objRS("MyTextField")
Response.Write Replace(sMyText, vbCRLF, "<br>")

Basically you are replacing the carriage return (vbCRLF) with the HTML equiv
(<br>).
