Hi!

Does anybody know how to add a linebreak to a textarea when inserting
dynamic text into a db?

Hi Christian, when the user clicks on the return character in a text area a VbCrLf (Visual Basic Carriage Return Line Feed) is inserted into the database field.

When you try to display this on a page when calling it from the database the VbCrLf does not show up, you need to replace it with a <br>.

Use the following where you want to display your field:

Replace(yourrecordsetname.fields.item("yourfieldname".value, VbCrLf, "<BR>"
