Enter And Text Box

[Technocrat]

I hope I can explain this correctly.

I have a text box that a user can type in a message with multipul lines. Then save this message for another time to a text file. When I load the message back to the text box from the file using a string, I get visual Enters (small black rectangles) not carriage returns on the text box. How do I get the text box to go to the next line instead of showing the damn black retangles.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

How does you save and load the file?
Have you set MultiLine to true for the textbox?

'Save
If msgTitle = "" Then Exit Sub

Open FilePath & FileName For Append As #1
    Print #1, "[Title]= " & msgTitle
    Print #1, "[Message]= " & outMsg
Close #1

'Open

Open FilePath & FileName For Input As #1
    While Not EOF(1)
        Input #1, strTemp
        If InStr(strTemp, "[Title]=") <> 0 Then
            If Not Looking Then
                SavedMsg(Count).strTitle = Mid(strTemp, 10, Len(strTemp))
                Looking = True
            Else
                Count = Count + 1
                SavedMsg(Count).strTitle = Mid(strTemp, 10, Len(strTemp))
            End If
            ReDim Preserve SavedMsg(Count + 1)
        ElseIf Looking Then
            If InStr(strTemp, "[Message]=") <> 0 Then
                SavedMsg(Count).strMsg = Mid(strTemp, 12, Len(strTemp))
            Else
                If SavedMsg(Count).strMsg <> "" Then
                    SavedMsg(Count).strMsg = SavedMsg(Count).strMsg & Chr(13) & strTemp
                End If
            End If
        End If
    Wend
Close #1

txtmsg.text = SavedMsg(1).strMsg

Yes I do Have multi lines on. It looks fine when you type it and in the text file. So it has to be in the load or the writing to the text box

Use Line Input # instead of Input # and change Chr(13) to vbCrLf.

Good luck!
