Text field with "blank row ability"? (1 Viewer)

[Fuga]

Hi,

I´m developing my first web page using visual studio. I have connected to an access db, and it works fine. But now I want a text field that can display blank rows, so that the user can identify sections in long texts.

I´m not at all used to having text fields to deal with, so this might be a simple question.

(I just realized that what I want is kind of like this field)

I don't understand the question. A field is an atribute of a row, so I don't see how a field could display a row. Are you referring to a textbox?

And if you are referring to a text box on a web page, you can set it to be multi-line in your design of the page.

Thanks for your replies.

This is how I mean:

I can store this in a text field:
1 cat. two dogs. 3 chickens.

But I want to store it like this:
1 cat.
two dogs.
3 chickens.

Actually I don´t care about how it is stored, but I don´t see how I could display it like this otherwise. Any suggestions? Not all posts will have text stored in different paragraphs.

If the text is stored with Carriage Returns/Line Feeds it should display on separate lines just as you show. If not, then you would need to add them in:
Chr(10) & Chr(13)

And, the big question would be how would you know where to add them, what designates a paragraph?

exactly!

I can find the paragraphs in the original text, but once I import it into access, well...

I suppose I could include some crazy letter, representing the carriage return, and then somehow replace it before the text field on the form is populated, but really...

I just can´t help feeling there´s something I´m not doing right...
