In a VA app I am passing text that contains tabs and carriage-return line-feed characters to a string variable. I am enclosing the variable in single-quotes and trying to use this to set the source for an unbound field (string data type). I get an error that "the matching ' is missing". When I check the string it is enclosed in single quotes. If I strip out the CR LF characters, I don't get an error and the ubound field is populated with the contents of the variable. Of course the only formatted characters are the Tab characters; no carriage return or line feed. Can text boxes accept these characters? I have turned on the paragraph formatting for the unbound field to RTF with no luck.

Can text boxes accept CR-LF
- Thread starter jdw81959
- Start date
jdw81959: You could try setting up a formula within Crystal - text as follows: CHR(13)
This would then insert CR/LF wherever you insert it and Yes Text Objects can accept these. David C. Monks
