carriage return within text field

Post by Jeannie » Mon Oct 30, 2006 4:20 pm

(I thought I had posted this, but msg did not appear)____I am printing a hard-carriage return from within a dbf character field, not a memo field. The content prints beautifully, BUT the chr(13) hard-carriage return is printed as a tiny box. Is there a way to get rid of this? I tried strrep(), but, as expected, the CR was stripped. Also tried variations with <R>.____TIA,__jeannie

I tried wordwrap with strrep(remarks,chr(13),^;^). The CR was replaced with double-spacing! version 11__-jeannie
