Bill,
Thanks for the information on the project description field within the
Project Database.

Well, I should have used "<br>" last week when I updated this field, but
I used a newline instead, and it appears that horrible things have
happened. I still can't use the Web page to modify the Project Description,
because the Web page is truncated right after the words "Project Description".
(Part of the description appears when I display the document source, but
the normal closing of the field and additional html stuff is missing.)
Is it possible that someone needs to go into the database and manually
fix the problematic row(s) in the table that contain(s) a newline or
other weirdness?
Jim
