>Joe,Only chr(13) would be sufficient.
That's true for the purpose of the editbox, but if you write that string to a file (StrToFile) then without the chr(10) the CR shows up as a black square in a simple editor like Notepad. Without testing the editbox, if it displays correctly using CRLFs, I'd use them because it'll be that much easier to output the strings to a text file. (guessing that the editbox value is stored in a memo field which might be dumped to a text file)
If the editbox is used primarily for display only, it might make the code easier to read to not have all the extra chr(10).
Joe, i usually make a CRLF variable:
CRLF = chr(13) + chr(10)
textline = "Line1" + CRLF + "Line2" + CRLF + CRLF + "Line4" [+ etc.]
If you later wanted to change your 'line-end' characters, you change only the CRLF variable...
