Parksie,

With a little work, I was able to populate the multiline edit box using the information from your post. I couldn't simply store '\r' and '\n' in the database field because it would just be viewed as part of the field itself just like "\r\n" is. I guess that this is "as good as it gets" as far as trying to achieve my desired end result. But things would be much simpler if the VC++ runtime interpreted "\r\n" like the compiler does. There's no way to make it do this?

By the way, thanks for your help Parksie. You too, Corned Bee. You probably would have been able to figure out the problem if I had mentioned in the beginning that the info. populating the string variable was coming from a database field.

Thanks again,
