:)

what that code does is add CHR(13) + CHR(10) + [Exported ]+m.bn+[T2.xls] on to the entire string each time it goes through the loop.

To test it out try this code in your command window:

m.msg = ""
for i = 1 to 10
   m.msg = m.msg + CHR(13) + CHR(10) + [Exported ] + TRANSFORM(m.i) + [T2.xls]
endfor
?m.msg

this will echo onto your screen how the string gets built up. If you just want Exported to be used once, do it like this:

CLEAR
m.msg = ""
for i = 1 to 10
   m.msg = m.msg + CHR(13) + CHR(10) + TRANSFORM(m.i) +[T2.xls]
endfor
m.msg = [Exported ] + m.msg
?m.msg
