I notice that these forums are coded so that when you press enter in the message box to post a new topic or edit a post, a new paragraph is created is created. The thing is, how is this new paragraph, enter key character (carriage return??) turned into a <p>text</p> html code?
the reason I ask is because i have a similar situation, but although the paragraphs are stored in the database, they are not converted to actual <p> tags so the formattting does not remain visible.
Its a little confusing  but i hope you guys can help me out, thanks

You're probably looking for this:
fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10) & CHR(10), "</P><P>")
fString = Replace(fString, CHR(10), "<BR>")

Silly question really, but how do you place the content of a textbox into the fString (or whatever you call it) variable so that you can set the formatting before it is submitted to the database?
I can't see where it's done in the forum code at all.
Also when passing text off to Access do you need to replace \ with '\ as you do in MySQL?
thanks

Depends on how you are getting the information from the text box.
Using the POST method it is:
fString=Request.Form("nameoftextbox")
Using the GET method it is:
fString=Request.QueryString("nameoftextbox")
or even simpler for both you can use:
fString=Request("nameoftextbox")
or if you are getting the information from a Session variable it might be:
fString=Session("nameofsessionvariable")
or from a cookie might be:
fString=Request.Cookies("cookiethatstorestextboxinformation")
and no is the answer to your other question.
