      From: spamminator@spamminator.com              We have a Paradox database. It contains information about products we       copy off the 'Net. We have a custom utility that cleans text in       Windows clipboard of any forbidden characters like carriage       return/line feeds (CRLF). I have told the employees time and again to       NEVER paste text directly from a web page into a Paradox field. But       they sometimes do and when the field contains a CRLF it signifies to       Paradox that it is the end of the record when we export the data to a       flat ASCII file. Any data after the CRLF is gone. Is there any       mechanism in Paradox that will filter out forbidden characters so this       no longer happens?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
