keep multiline textbox formatting (tabs) in report

We have multiline text box of datatype ntext, and users will use tabs to format the data for better readability in our application. How can we keep this formatting in SSRS 2000? Right now, it simply goes away and resembles nothing like the application. Thanks!
Not sure I have understood your requirment, do you have any issues in displaying that ‘text’ data in the reports or any issues with formatting of report? Satya SKJ

Hello! Let’s say I write the following in my application’s multiline textbox:
This is line one.
This is line two with an indent or tab.
This is line three with an indent also. The report will simply show the above three lines w/o the tabbing:
This is line one.
This is line two with an indent or tab.
This is line three with an indent also. ….., and the users would like to keep this tabbing as it makes the data easier to read and follow.
Yes that can be accomplished, look athttp://aspalliance.com/819 in this case.

Hello! We’re using SSRS 2000, your articles are for 2005. I don’t see anything to format the text box to keep the formatting like the application does in the textbox control. Thanks!
Hmm, I missed that and you have to check under BOoks online in this case and if I find any reference then I will update here. Satya SKJ
