it doesn't seem to work by replacing the cr character. i tried to display the original content in one text box and doing a replacing function and displaying it in another text box but nothing seems to be changed.
FYI, the file is in ascii mode where the file resides in a solaris machine. all i'm doing is selecting the file from the mapped network drive and trying to extract it to an access table. the carriage return is represented as a simbol like a small black box.
any tips for me?.....appreciate your time thanx.
