>I am putting a memo field in an HTML file (in order to email it). But the problem is that in the HTML the carriage return or spaces are not recognized. Therefore, the entire MEMO field appears in one block of text. What do you recommend to do to get around this problem?

I'm not sure what you mean about spaces. For end of line try

STRTRAN(mymemo, CHR(13) + CHR(10), "<br>")
