    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:
    1. Print #1, "<html>"

    2.     Print #1, "<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF>"

    3.     Print #1, "<p><b>"

    4.     Print #1, "<h1 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= YELLOW size=6>Main App.</font></h1>"

    5.     Print #1, "<h2 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= RED size=4>Project Professional</font></h2>"

    6.     Print #1, "<h3 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= WHITE size=4>Budget Analysis</font></h3>"

    7.     Print #1, "<h3 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= WHITE size=4>" & BUDGET & "</font></h3>"

    8.     Print #1, "<h3 align=center><font><font face= Tahoma color= WHITE size=2> as of " & Date & "</font></h3>"

    9.     Print #1, "<hr><br>"

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