Storing formatted text to a variable.

[Ascentient]

I have stored some formatted text to a string variable and am then assigning that variable to a textbox for display on a form. (It's the only control on the form.)
The only signifcant formatting I have is carriage returns.

The displayed results is a bunch of senteneces running together.

Is this by design or am I missing some control or option on the text box that tells it to retain formating?

Seems you missed the line feed:
Me![textbox name] = "Line 1" & vbCrLf & "Line 2"

Hope This Helps, PH.

That did it. I was using the chr(13) between lines.
