Hello and happy Friday!

I have an excel document that the user inputs information. The information will ultimately be pasted into a dos based system that keeps records of all notes for each person.

The dos system note size is limited to 1,035 characters or 69 spaces left to right and 15 lines. What i am looking to do is use VBA code to copy the range of cells, remove all line breaks and the output would fit into the given area.

I currently use code that i can paste into the dos based system but there is a lot of unused space due to line breaks limiting the information i can move at one time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If i did not explain this well enough please let me know and i will attempt to explain further.

Thanks!
 
sorry. [blush]

change this...
Code:
sPaste = sPaste & Mid(sTemp, i, MAXCHR) & vbNewLine

But hey, does it matter? Look how your terminal emulator wrapped line 2 and following!!!
