Default populating a cell with text w/ line breaks

Joe

In XL2003 this worked

Sub test()
ActiveCell.Value = "Ben" & Chr(10) & "Hur" & Chr(10) & "Gladiator"
End Sub

I am using XL 2002. I need to populate cells with data that has been

created using the vbcrlf constant (i.e. data value = "Ben" & vbcrlf & "Hur"
& vbcrlf & "gladiator").

When I populate the cell with the data value above it appears double

spaced, like this:

Ben

Hur

gladiator

I want it to apepar like this:

Ben
Hur
gladiator

What is the vb constant used to create the Alt+Enter line break while

populating a cell?

TIA,
