Carriage Returns

Hi,
I have an access database that has been created by the export utility
from Outlook contacts. In outlook contacts there is a free text field
where you can enter paragraphs, bold text, etc. Now this field in
Access is there without the styles but the carriage returns still
exist. My problem is when importing this access table to sql server, it
removes all this carriage returns and puts a blank instead.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

If this is a one-time shot, write a script that replaces the CR/LF in all
the memo fields with some other textual. Once imported in SQL, replace it
with CR/LF again.
This is just a work-around since I neither know the explanation and nor a
"real" solution ;-)
