    Creating textbox content

    Hi
    I have a project which involves calculating text and values and entering the result as a line in a listbox. - works fine.

    My problem is to add the same data into a textbox or similar with each result displayed on a new line.

    Adding chr(13) inserts '|' into the text string but does not insert a new line.

    Any suggestions please

    Change the textbox's MultiLine property to True & also add vertical scrollbar if desired.

    Instead of chr$(13), try vbCrLf or vbNewLine.
    Software I use and highly recommend: Opera, Miranda IM, Peerblock, Winamp, Unlocker Assistant, JoyToKey, Virtual CloneDrive, Secunia PSI, ExplorerXP, GOM Player, Real Alternative, Quicktime Alternative,Sumatra PDF, and non-freeware: Photoshop and VB6().
    My codebank: AllRGB, Rounded Rectangle(math), Binary Server, Buddy Paint, LoadPictureGDI+, System GUID/Volume Serial, HexToAsc, List all processes and their paths, quasiString matching
    Strings(search, extraction, retrieval etc): Retrieve BBCode Link from HTML, RemoveBetween ()'s, strFindBetween(str1,str2), Insert text in HTML, HTML - GetSpanByID

    vbNewLine
    I think instead of Chr(13) will help.

    yes... you need the vbCRLF (chr(13) + chr(10)) and set the text box to multiline = true
