Hi,

Try to replace all the enter key occurences with "<br>" tag and then update it in your database.

You can try something like,

<cfset textVal = #replace(form.your_text_area_name,Chr(13),"<br>", "all")#>

You get more flexibility if you store what you receive and use the replace function when displaying on a web page.
