Form Processing

I have a requirement for a user to input multiple paragraphs of information into a MEMO field on an Access database. When user enters multiple paragraphs, they run together. Looking at the posting database it said something about TEXTAREA WRAP but it did not solve provide the breaks needed between paragraphs.

My next idea for solving the problem was to have the user enter a paragraph of text data and store that in seperat fields within the database. I need for the user to be able to click on different buttons to tell me when no more data is coming. I can see that you can name a button on "input" but i don't seem to be able to access it on action page.

How can I best accomplish getting breaks between paragraphs?

thanks

WRAP="hard" in a TEXTAREA sends the ASCII characters 13 10 to the to the server, so it is possible to replace them with a <P> or <BR> before storing them. For more informaion, see http://www.idocs.com/tags/forms/_TEXTAREA_WRAP.html
