Good Morning,

I am not a programmer, but instead a business owner who has 97% of my custom built software complete. Unfortunately my developers didn't finish the last bit before moving on to another project. I wanted to point that out as I will most likely ask some novice questions regarding VB.

Inside of our software (written on VB.net) we have an e-mail admin section for automated e-mails sent when certain actions occur. These e-mails populate variables/values from the DB before sending. I have noticed that the e-mails work perfectly fine unless I make seemingly simple changes to them. For example, If I add a <p></p> section with text the code breaks and the e-mail doesn't populate correctly, leaving many of the would-be filled in values blank.

Although I don't know much about VB/ASP, I do have a very solid understanding of HTML and PHP. The text that I input does not in any way affect the DB values of the existing e-mail and the HTML is correctly inputted. I can only assume the e-mail breaks because I do not know some very important yet VB-specific rule. Assuming that my problem is common, can someone please let me know how to solve this - What am I doing incorrectly?
