Yes, this has happened to me before. Ibet it's an encoding issue. If the DB is created on a Mac with Mac line e=ndings, WebDNA will not see them as proper lineendings. I've always used a Mac, and this has come up with me before. I h=ave BBEdit set up to use Unix line endings andthe problem has pretty much gone away. Maybe the db that isn't working wa=s copied over from another server or from yourdesktop and has the wrong line endings. Somebody smarter about these thin=gs can chime in now for all the exactparticulars, but I bet this is what's going on.
