How to combine both LEFT and VbCrLf thingy to a single field while displaying

[techy techno]

I have used thecode which is below to get x characters on to display
<%= LEFT(rsName.Fields.Item("columnname").Value,50)%>

It works fine but when I use this same code to get x characters plus
display
it using VBCRLF, with the <br> with writing the code :

<%=Replace LEFT
(Recordset1.Fields.Item("Detail").Value,VbCrLf,"<b r><br>",50)%>

it gives me error so please can you tell me how can i trim the
characaters
and at the same time use VBCRLF.

why does this above code with LEFT + vbCrLF doesn't work please help

thanks
