Based on an earlier thread, I've found that one way to preserve paragraph breaks in an Access memo field is to add <br> tags as needed within Access and then to select html text for the field within CC. This works well as far as it goes. It's certainly an improvement over no paragraph breaks.
However, I also intend to generate PDF database reports generated directly from Access. Having those <br> tags certainly seems like it'll pose a problem when I do so.
Is there another work around that'll work well in CC without requiring that I mess with the original Access memo fields?
(Another suggestion from the tread -- using a before show event in CC that inserts a <br> tag every 40 characters -- won't work for me since I need the breaks in specific, arbitrary locations.)
Thanks!
Rob

How about...
1 - Copy file that's being converted to .pdf
2 - "search and replace" <br> in copied file with whatever is required for .pdf
3 - Convert copied file to .pdf
...just a thought

I use fldmemo=replace(fldmemo,vbCRLF,"<br>") in the Before Show Event of the form. Than I print to PDF.

Thanks Tony and Petr for your suggestions. Both solve the problem but Petr's is especially useful for me since I don't have to enter the <br>'s within Access in the first place. A great solution. I appreciate it.
