Been said here before and probably will again...
Make sure to define vbCrLf as this is not an intrinsic constant.

Uh... what do you mean? I have never needed to define vbCrLf in ANY of
my ASP code and it always does just what I want it to.

Sorry,
I hadn't familiarized myself with the new language enhancements and was
still stuck back in the dark ages! I just went out and looked at the
current language reference and, sure enough, there it was. Thanks.

I prefer to use Chr(10), that way you are using the true ASCII value, not
some VB construct. Guaranteed to work.

Except that that is only a line feed, not a carriage-return-line-feed
sequence.
vbCrLf is a constant that contains two characters.

That was silly of me, I always get Chr(10) & Chr(13) confused.
The question is what the text that in entered contains. In my case text with
line breaks is coming from a text box. I just ran a little code to check
what the ASCII values were actually created, and Chr(13) was definitely used
for the line break. If that is what I am inserting into the database, it is
definitely the character I want to be replacing with <br> when I pull the
data out of the database.
To my mind vbcrlf would be more appropriate only if you were doing string
manipulation using vbcrlf inside VB/VBS/ASP. Please feel free to correct.

Hello
I'm using :-)

Function replaceLineBreaks(inputString)
inputString = Replace(inputString, vbCrLf, "<br>" & vbCrLf)
inputString = Replace(inputString, vbCr, "<br>" & vbCrLf)

This is what I get with a POST operation using MS IE and MS IIS
TextArea:
54 65 73 74 0D 0A 32 6E 64 20 6C 69 6E 65 Test..2nd line
InputTypeText:
54 65 73 74 68 65 6C 6C 6F Testhello
Note the 0D 0A sequence in the textArea. 0D = 13 = 'CR' and
0A = 10 = 'LF' hence vbCRLF. It may be that say NS under linux
might use a different representation of end-of-line.
I don't think you can have a multi-line value in an
<INPUT TYPE=Text...>

Unusual that I got something different with IE & IIS. It is probably my
mistake. I'll have another look at it, no doubt you are right. Thanks for
the work on this one. I guess I have a little code to fix. :-)
