I want to make an web-based editing tool that a user with little HTML knowledge can edit a Memo field in Access. I want it so that they wold jsut  be able to edit in a Textbox. They could make paragraphs and the HTML tags wold be added when they post. How do i do this? i've been looking through the Web wiz codes but cant find anything simpler than the WYSIWYG Editor, and that is too complex. I dont need any formatting other than the paragraphs.

the problem im having is that when i do that and then read it back out onto a webpage it needs the html tags. will a regular Textbox put the tags in the access field? here's an example

here's what it shold look like:

This is a paragraph and it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. that's on paragraph.

This is the second paragraph, it goes on too, and it's seperate form the other paragraph.

but this is how it comes out:

This is a paragraph and it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. that's on paragraph.This is the second paragraph, it goes on too, and it's seperate form the other paragraph.

hope that makes it clear? =/

when you display the text... replace vbCrlf with <br />, like:

Response.Write Replace(TheTextFieldFromTheDB, vbCrlf, "<br />")
