Carriage returns in text boxes

[David Cleave]

Why can't I use a carriage return in a text box?

When I set the value of a text box like this:

[Text box] = "Line 1" & chr(13) & "Line 2"

The text box displays:

Line1Line2

It clearly can display carriage returns, because if you
paste text from Word which includes a carriage return, the
text box shows it properly.

So how do I include carriage returns when I specify the
contents of a text box from Visual Basic?

Thanks

David

Fred just answered a very similar question yesterday....

As Control Source of an UNBOUND text control:
=[Field1] & chr(13) & chr(10) & [Field2]

Note.. the chr(13) and chr(10) must be in that order.
