Re: storing line breaks in a database

Are you talking about multiple line input boxes from HTML forms, or from a Visual Basic program (or some other such program)? In both cases, the line breaks are included in the output the form posts. However, when displaying them in HTML the linebreaks are ignored and you'd have to use the <br> tag instead. If you were retrieving them for the VB program, they would display correctly anyway. The character for the line break in normal text files is '\n', the line break for VB and other windows files is '\r\n' (2 characters).
