<font face='Arial'></font id='Arial'><font size=2></font id=size2>Hey new to ultradev and access, but I'm wondering the best way to use a list with bullets in Ultradev??
In my Access database I made a seperate column named detail01, detail 02, detail 03...and then linked that up to a "list" on one of my asp pages in UD. That worked, but is that the best way to set it up??
Couldnt I put all the details together in one column in Access and then break it up in a list somehow??
Or are there any other better ideas? Please Help. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> Thanks guys

First, are you the only one that will be entering information to the database?
If so, you could simply set up a multi line text box in a form on a page in which to enter the details then enter the HTML directly into the textbox like:
<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code><li>detail1</li><li>detail2</li><li>detail3</li><li>detail4</li></font id=code></pre id=code>
Or you could enter it something like this:
(detail1)(detail2)(detail3) etc.
Then replace the brackets with the HTML code:
<%
varList = (YourRecordsetName.Fields.Item("YourFieldName".Value)
varList = Replace(varList, Chr(40), "<Li>"
varList = Replace(varList, Chr(41), "</Li>"
%>
Then display the list:
<% = varList %>

I would be the only one entering information into the database, and I would be doing it though and ASP administration area in the site.
I dont understand this part though:
<%
varList = (YourRecordsetName.Fields.Item("YourFieldName".Value)
varList = Replace(varList, Chr(40), "<Li>"
varList = Replace(varList, Chr(41), "</Li>"
%>
Then display the list:
<% = varList %>
Could you explain it please? Thanks so much Owen <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
