Great !!! Awsome it works but what i had to do is kida trick the system, as the update statement was created using dreamweaver so i had to leave the code

<textarea name="aboutus_entry" cols="100" rows="20" wrap="virtual" id="aboutus_entry"><%=(rs_cinfo.Fields.Item("description").Value)%></textarea>

than creat the update record with dreamweaver so it recognises to update <%=(rs_cinfo.Fields.Item("description").Value)%>
than once that wa done remove

<textarea name="aboutus_entry" cols="100" rows="20" wrap="virtual" id="aboutus_entry"><%=(rs_cinfo.Fields.Item("description").Value)%></textarea>

and it does update now. great. thanx
