Only show part of a memo field (classic ASP)

[KRMwebdesign]

I'm building a news website and I want to only show a certain amount of characters in teh memo field/ part of the news story. Then users can click on 'read more' to view the entire thing on the news.asp?newsid= page

Does anyone know of a way I can do this?

Have you tried :

Left(rs("fieldname"),nn)

where nn = number of characters of rs("fieldname") to show, starting from the left

Cool, I will try that.
