I hope this isn't the world’s stupidest question but I have searched G and WW to no avail.

I have an access database that displays a long product description in ASP. I have no trouble getting the description to display. I just can’t figure out how to format the data so it displays line breaks, font colors, etc…

Sorry but any help is appreciated.

When you enter the data into your database you'll have to include all the relevant HTML tags to do the formatting.

Thanks, I had previously tried that but it didn't work, now I just looked closer at the code and the tag was stripping out any formatting. Now I feel really stupid.

Sorry for the trouble.
