Mike,
If you are concerned about a Mac (or some other platform), vbNewLine is the
way to go, because it evaluates to what the system expects .
So on Windows it is vbCrLf but (apparently) vbCr on a Mac.
But it will be correct on either.

Can anyone tell me how to get multiple lines in the prompt section of
Message
boxes?
VB help mentions carriage return characters chr(13) but i cant work
out
how
to use them.
Currently i have a line of code that says:
Msg = Step 1: do this, Step 2: do that
i am trying to get step 1 and step 2 on different lines

All these seem to work. If you're on a Mac, or remotely concerned about
Mac compatibility, it looks like vbNewLine is the way to go...

Public Sub MsgBoxes()

MsgBox "a" & Chr(13) & "b"
MsgBox "a" & Chr(10) & "b"
MsgBox "a" & vbCrLf & "b"
MsgBox "a" & vbCr & "b"
MsgBox "a" & vbLf & "b"
MsgBox "a" & vbNewLine & "b" ' Same as vbCrLf on Windows (13+10)
but just Chr(13) on Mac

End Sub
