HELP: I need to display editable text in a textarea or similar

J

John

Hi all,
I finally managed to sort my previous problem, thanks to Thomas.
Now I have another dilemma.

I have been trying to retrieve text from a recordset and display it
within a textarea box so as to edit it.
I have now realised that textarea does not use a 'value' tag, and
therefore the text will not display.

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be achieved with MS Access and
ASP?

TIA.

Use the following format, but all on a single line:

<textarea rows="4" name="Description" cols="40">
<%=objRS("Description")%>
</textarea>
