Hi all,

I had to take an Access database to SQL Server. I used DTS to do this and for the most part it went fine. However the database contained records with very large memo fields, so I mapped that field to a text column. When I display the data in QA or ASP its all one big jumble, the carriage returns have disappeared. I could run a string function to insert a <br> just before every date (which usually indicated a new line) but adding extra data to the current database to accomodate a specific client (web browser in this case) seems like a no no to me. I'm worried that if I do it when I present the data then performance will go south. Any other thoughts?

Thanks,
Justin

Hey graz, does THIS sound familiar?

How did the CR-LFs disappear? Did DTS strip them out?
