    I have an annoying little problem. I can't get a carriage return to work in a text box. I use Chr(13) to get the carriage return but all that appears is something like ¦ a little vertical black line. It's really annoying. Can anyone help?

    Try vbCrLf instead then (tho yours should work afair)

    For windows you need a Line Feed character (10) as well as the Carraige Return (13) - vbCrLf does that -

    txtStuff.text = "line one" & vbCrLf & "line two"

    www.planet-source-code.com is a useful resource sometimes, despite the terrible layout.

    That, google, and the programming board right here should take care of almost any question you might have.
