: How can i wrap my text in my display table so that it all appears on one
: screen instead of having to get the user to scroll across the page for
: information?

Sean,
Sorry to single you out, but this is really beginning to bug me. Your last
email was 625 lines long!

How about:
a) changing the subject line so that it is relevant to the question you are
asking
b) trimming all the unnecessary stuff from the bottom of your posts.
c) posting to the appropriate list

A little bit of thought on your part is more likely to elicit help from
people on the list.

So I'm not accused of just having a whinge:
Your question has *nothing* to do with ASP & Access, and everything to do
with HTML. Wrox has plenty of client-side lists that you can subscribe to at
http://p2p.wrox.com.

Something like:

<p><%=objRS("field1"%></p>

will result in text that wraps. The problems come in when you start creating
fixed width tables, or divs or similar.

Cheers
Ken

Ken,
 Sorry bout that i just didnt get enough time to delete any lines from the
bottom of my last e-mail. I realise it must have been a nightmare trying to
read down through it all.
Once again sorry but i'll do my best only to post up the relevant lines in
future.
Sean
