Greg,

I've written so many message boxes that I do the following to save some time
and effort.

public const L2 = vbcrlf & vbcrlf 'in the top of a general module
public const MT= "What I want on the top of message boxes"

'time saved writing this
call msgbox("This is line 1" & l2 & "this is line 2" & l2 & "this is line
3", vbokonly, mt)

'rather than this
call msgbox("This is line 1" & vbcrlf & vbcrlf & "this is line 2" & vbcrlf &
vbcrlf & "this is line 3", vbokonly, "What I want on the top of message
boxes")

vbCrLf

and you can also use Space(integer) to layout it out better.

Hi! I was wondering how we create hard returns within an
input box to control the layout in the window.

Thanks for your help!!
