TRY

1)

Code:

temp = "<body bgcolor=""" & textbg ....

2)

Code:

use vbcrlf constant to break to a new line

Question # 1:
You can use double quotes or Chr(34) to put a quote in your code
msgbox "He""llo"
the above would print He"llo
or you can do this:
msgbox "He" & chr(34) & "llo"
which would also print He"llo

Question #2:
you can use the vbCrLf to make newlines
msgbox "First Line" & vbcrlf & "Second Line" & "still Second line" & vbcrlf & "Third Line"

Hope this helped

Well

This is what I do for the header info (Note it includes a variable called budget, and built in varaible Date).

VB Code:

Print #1, "<html>"
    Print #1, "<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF>"
    Print #1, "<p><b>"
    Print #1, "<h1 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= YELLOW size=6>Main App.</font></h1>"
    Print #1, "<h2 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= RED size=4>Project Professional</font></h2>"
    Print #1, "<h3 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= WHITE size=4>Budget Analysis</font></h3>"
    Print #1, "<h3 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= WHITE size=4>" & BUDGET & "</font></h3>"
    Print #1, "<h3 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= WHITE size=2> as of " & Date & "</font></h3>"
    Print #1, "<hr><br>"

Remember, the extra quotes ca cause you nightmares...
