And as mentioned in another post using the 'Text Visualizer' option will show the fomratted output. BTW, according to help '\n' is Unix new line and '\r\n' is non-Unix. Using Environment.NewLine should guarantee the correct sequence....

I'm just doing it like in VFP by pointing the mouse to the code and seeing this variable.

Ok, I change to Environment.NewLine, though this is now a minor point when I have bigger problems - site doesn't work in FireFox, I get Service unavailble when I try to test on the live server and with my credentials I now seem to unable not re-start IIS.

Also there is a visual appearance problem I can not figure out how to solve. In one of the columns in the GridView the textbox is out of place (e.g. lower than the rest of columns). I don't know what to do.
