msgbox title @body@ doesn't seem to be working

I recently converted my database from 97 to XP (not horrendous, but not as straightforward as it should have been.) I had been using several msgboxes which had bolded titles, using syntax like:

Code:
MsgBox "hi " & Constants.NL & " @this is the body@ "

These don't work in XP; the @ signs show up. Constants.NL is defined as follows:

Code:
Public Static Function NL() As String
    NL = Chr(13) & Chr(10)
End Function

(but the code still doesn't work "correctly" even if there are no NLs included.) Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks
 
Yes, they may work, but you need the "tweak" presented by DeanWilliams here thread705-733705, cause that functionality of the msgbox disappeared in the 2000 version.
