You might try exporting your data from FileMaker, or if you can enter the ascii character 11 (hex 0B) into a text file that does the same thing.Whenever WebCatalog $Appends a record to one of its databases, it automatically converts carriage returns from forms into soft returns. Try going to the GeneralStore administration page and adding a multiline product description. You'll see those characters in the resulting catalog.txt file.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
