need to enter carriage returns in email via CDO

[opticalman]

I am using vfp8.0
I am trying to send an order via email
i am using code I found MSDN VFP forum
I can send the email.
here is the code

loConfig = CREATEOBJECT( 'CDO.Configuration' )
loMsg    = CREATEOBJECT( 'CDO.Message' )

WITH loMsg
  .Configuration = loConfig
  .TO       = "someone@hotmail.com" 
  .Subject  = "order from myplace"
  .HTMLBody = "line1"
  .HTMLBody = .HTMLBody + "line2"  
  .SEND()
ENDWITH

loConfig = .NULL.
loMsg    = .NULL.

the problem is formating the BODY text. For now, I want to put a carraige return at the end of each line. I can not get CHR(13) to work. example "line1"+ chr(13)+"line2" yields "line1line2"

thanks for any help

Since you're populating .HTMLBody, I suspect you want "<BR>" (or even "<P>") instead.

HTML disregards CRLF.

Thanks Dan
As soon as I read your answer a lightbulb lit up. Now I realize what .HTMLBODY means. With a little research I found the metod/property .TextBody

By using .TextBody instead of .HtmlBody I can now do what I want. I have used:
REPORT FORM MyReport TO FILE ReportText ASCII

I then use the command
.TextBody = FILETOSTR( "ReportText.txt")

It works the way I want.
I consider this question solved and closed.

Thank you.
