Hi to all,

I have a text box that must display a string readed from a MSDE database.

In Win2000/XP when a carriage return (e.g. where the user that entered the
string pressed ENTER) is encountered, I got a small box and the string don't
go to a new line.

In my developing machine, a Windows SBS 2003, this problem doesn't exists.

I know that this is a problem related to encoding/decoding of string,
someone as any idea how to avoid the problem in the Win2000/XP machines?

Thanks a lot and sorry for this newbie question...

Your strings don't contain the correct carriage-return / line-feed token.
You'll need to replace the linefeeds with the correct "\r\n" sequence.

Bob, Thanks for your reply.

The input is managed in another application that (I think) simply furnish a
text box to enter the string. I don't control this application but I can try
to ask to the relative developer.

I just want ask some questions:

1) Why on Windows Server 2003 I don't have this problem (In this machine I
have installed the western charset + simplified chinese...I don't know if
this count)
2) How is possible to resolve the problem in the read/display side of our
applications?

Thanks a lot again.
