Text box return

[bpeirson]

How do I enter a carriage return or next line in a text box?
The code I have is this:

 Chosen_items.Value = Chosen_items.Value & " " & Qty_Box.Value & " Each " & Part_Box.Value

What I want is:

 Chosen_items.Value = Chosen_items.Value & [COLOR=red yellow]{new line command here}[/color red yellow] & Qty_Box.Value & " Each " & Part_Box.Value

Chosen_items is the name of the text box. This code is in a loop which adds items into the box as the user chooses them.

Currently the items appear in a sequential line one after another, this is very hard to read.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Can you add & vbCrLf & ?
If that does not work, add chr$(13) or chr$(10) (the ASCII characters for carriage return and linefeed )

Chosen_items.Value = Chosen_items.Value & vbCRLF & Qty_Box.Value & " Each " & Part_Box.Value

Don't forget to set the Multiline property of the Chosen_Items textbox to True

Good Luck

Both methods work great as long as I remember to enable multiline for the testbox.

Thanks to both.
