Hi...

I have created a suggestion box and have included message box.

The message box properties are as follows:

<textarea rows="10" name="message" cols="65" wrap=hard></textarea>

And have declared the variable as:

var_message = request.form("message")

record("message") = var_message


Result:

response.write"<b>Message</b>: "&record("message").value &"</br />"

In the Access database, I have given the message field size as maximum that is 255.

I am having problems when inserting big paragraphs. Is there a way to provide big textarea for information and Is it possible with Access database.

use the MEMO type in your database instead of TEXT for the the field in question.
