I tried the display function for the textarea

fired it with
value"=<%DisplayRMemo(trim(=rs.fields("comments")( 5)))%>"
Doesn't like the equal sign. Can I call rs.fields here?

There was no = sign in that position in my example.

FYI: The = sign is short hand for response.write

Change:
value"=<%
To:
value="<%=
And get rid of the = sign before the rs.fields

BTW - Dont place the text you want shown in a value parameter within a <textarea> tag (other form type elements yes but not a textarea). Use it like:
<textarea name="info"><%= DisplayRMemo(trim(getInfo(1))) %></textarea>

NOTE: I do not use the .fileds collection myself. I populate a recordset and assign it to the getInfo variable
