You are using the FP wizard
So you can't use std ASP, which you applied incorrectly as:
<marquee>%= Description %</marquee>
and would apply correctly as
<marquee><%=Description%></marquee>
In your case you need to use the wizard syntax
<marquee><%=FP_FieldVal(fp_rs,"Description")%></marquee>

| I guess from what you are saying that you expect much more between the tags?
