Carriage returns in memo fields

Post by pluichinger » Thu Aug 11, 2005 12:02 pm

As per the user^s guide, I^m trying to format a field in my database to print properly. I^ve used the <r> before my carriage returns as the guide says, but the report viewer isn^t printing the lines properly.____For example, I have text that says:__^ Here is a test memo with a single carriage return<R>__This should be the beginning of a new line____This was 2 carriage returns.^____It prints :__^ Here is a test memo with a single carriage return<R>This should be the beginning of a new line____This was 2 carriage returns.^____What am I doing wrong?

Is this the Xbase or the SQL version?____Kathleen__R&R Support

Has any progress been made on this? Can you duplicate the problem?

If it is indeed a database field and not an attached text file, add a section to the file c:windows sw.ini called SPECIAL (put this in brackets) and in this section add a line that says:____CHARRAW=1______and see if this helps.____Kathleen__R&R Support
