I am trying to set up a way to enter data to a memo field in a database
using format setup using DRW.

I want to allow user to enter data with line breaks as entered and if it was
possible to use bullet lists that would even better.

But when I enter text it all comes out as one long paragraph. Is there any
way I get get close to WYSIWYG ?

Thanks

You can display the memo field in a page in a (more or less) WYSIWYG
manner, but it requires some code:
In the page delete the entire contents of the table cell containing
<%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"sComments")%> (including all the grey code) and
replace it with

replace(FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"sComments"),vbCRLF,"<br>")

where sComments is the name of the memo field.
