    Default Only show a certain amount of text on each page

    Is there a way in ASP to only show a certain amount of text that is pulled
    through from a database on each page?
    I have a vast amount of text but only have a small amount of space to put it
    in on each page - say about 7 lines of text...can I make a statement or is
    there a behaviour that will only show 7 lines of text or a certain amount of
    characters per page before going to the next?

    You could use the Left() function. eg

    Response.Write Left(Recordset1("myField"),200)
