what might be an easy quesiton

is there a way you can insert a line in a richtextbox? I have a command button that allows the user to insert a horizontal line in the richtextbox, but I don't know how to do it... another one... how do you put up a picture file in a richtextbox

Are you talking about a empty line? Simply do the following:

Code:

---

Public Sub Command1_Click()
    RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text & VbCrLf
End Sub

---

The VbCrLf places the empty line.

Gl,
D!m

no no no... a horizontal line

---------------------------------------------------------
like the one above... but solid and in one piece so that the user can move it or delete it with one push of a keyboard key

RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text & vbCrLf _
& "__________________________________" & vbCrLf

It might be easier to place it into a Sub.

Code:

---

Sub AddLine(rtfBox As RichTextBox, chChar As String, iLength As Integer)
    rtfBox.SelText = vbCrLf & String(iLength, chChar) & vbCrLf
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    RichTextBox1.SetFocus
    'AddLine (RichTextBox), (Character to Use), (Length)
    AddLine RichTextBox1, "_", 20
End Sub
