Well.. where to start. I have a web app made with access that works just fine. It is used to collect data that's mostly text, nothing fancy. For that I use web frontend hosted on office365 sharepoint servers.
When I open some record with data on the web part it formats correctly; new lines/paragraphs are showing and all is good (web_ss.png in attachment).
But when I open the same record in the client form (or try to make a report) there is no new lines (client_ss.png in attachment).
From my research I figured out it could be something to do with the way how new lines are stored (\n \r vbcrlf...). Also I have found this sample of code that is supposed to parse the records in the database and replace the troubled new line character with what access likes - vbcrlf.
I am just wondering where, and how, should I run this (presumably at the same time as running a report on client side) and if someone can explain it to me or suggest a read that explains vba in access in some detail.
Thanks in advance

Code:
Public Shared Function FormatComment(ByVal unformattedcomment As String) As String
dim formattedcomment
formattedcomment = ""
dim i
i = 1
do while i <= Len(unformattedcomment)
if Asc(Mid(unformattedcomment,i,1)) = "10" then
formattedcomment = formattedcomment & vbcrlf
else
formattedcomment = formattedcomment & Mid(unformattedcomment,i,1)
end if
i=i+1
loop
Return formattedcomment
End FunctionI am just wondering where, and how, should I run this (presumably at the same time as running a report on client side) and if someone can explain it to me or suggest a read that explains vba in access in some detail.
