Hi, im back with a new question

Basically i would like to know how to create a new line on a text box...i know this might sound confusing, but ill explain myself the best i can...

What im actually trying to do is this: With cmd1_Click() i want to get the text from Text1.Text and Text2.Text and put that information on Text3.Text...but here's the problem: the Text1.Text has to be on the first line, the Text2.Text on the second...

I've tried this:

Private Sub cmd1_Click()
Dim X As String
Dim Y As String
X = Text1.Text
Y = Text2.Text
Text3.Text = "Sup " & X & " and welcome!" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Y & " hello again!"
End Sub

Obviously this isn't the program i am creating, but i just simplified it...

(The Chr(13) and Chr(10) don't work, they leave a little || thing on the textbox...and searching through google i read a description which said: Its not possible to create a new line on a textbox...unfortunately the page was missing so i couldn't read it thouroughly.)

thank you and ill be waiting patiently for an answer

Stick a dollar sign on the end of CHR. You'd probably do better to use separate lines for each line of the text box in this case so you can easily see what is supposed to be on a new line and what isn't.

Something like this:

txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Line 1" & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)
		txtStatus.Text = txtStatus.Text & "Line 2 on a new text box line " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)

A text box with the name txtStatus is needed. All you need do is basically use the previous contents of the box and stick the extra stuff on the end of it with a carriage return.

Thank you Neil Jones for the reply...

I ended up using the "vbCrLf" function
