I changed the data type to varchar (8000) to the FeatureBody on this and the
text magically appeared in the default value of the <textarea></textarea>.

strange and stranger still

Not so much, again, it has to do with how ASP 2.0 handles a 'text' data type
coming from M$ SQL Server. The stuff in the varchar field will show up as
there is no problem with that data type. But I do think that there is a
limit in M$ SQL Server for the varchar data type, it will not hold the body
of most articles properly, as they are longer than can be held.

HTH!
