Francis,

Either of these should work.
1. Response.Write "< PRE >"&rs("field1")&"< /PRE >< BR >"

2. sayit=rs("field1")
sayit=Replace(sayit," "," & n b s p; ")
Response.Write ""&sayit&"< BR >"

1. Will out put as text. You don't control what font or size.

2. Will allow you to control the font and stuff.

Note:
For speed you need to try and NOT have straight HTML and Script mixed together.

Example slower:

     < %
       do while not.rs 
          response.write rs("field1")%>
          < BR >
          < %rs.movenext 
        loop   
      % >

Example slower:
     < %
       do while not.rs 
          response.write rs("field1")&"< BR >"
          rs.movenext 
        loop   
      % >

In other words do the whole page inside the script delimiters with response.writes. It get to be a pain sometimes getting "" correct, but it speeds the page up a bunch.
