Hi Dragan,

Thanks a lot for your response. Actually, I satisfyed with Report solution, so I didn't try memlines, etc. But I'll put this in my mind.

Thanks again.

In Report DE I put some table, so it works just fine.

The problem was more than that. My form.Message is a string, which contains itself chr(13), like this:

Part1+chr(13)+Part2+chr(13)+... I want to display it correctly and print it.
If I print it from report, it prints just fine, but if I use @..say command instead of correct printing I see some symbol...

So, I decided not to use this code...
