    The function SearchAndReplace is relatively new and may not have existed whern you needed the javascript.

    Try this
    SearchAndReplace([Notes],"\n"," ")

    That should replace the carriage return with a space character.

Thanks Mark!

SearchAndReplace is indeed new since I put this JavaScript in place. I tried using it in a Formula-Text field and it wasn't working, but then I tried using a Formula-Rich Text field instead and that does work, which makes sense now that I think about it.

Anyway, I think the Formula-Rich Text field is also relatively new so with both now it looks like I can get rid of this particular JavaScript. I still have a couple other (more DOM related needs) that I'll post separately. But this one was more of a priority so I'm very happy to find an alternative. You are the man!
