Hi Rob, Vasant,

I agree that this is the case.

When I replied to Vasant, I wasn't suggesting what could and what couldn't
be done, I was just saying that I could understand the OP's request, because
tabs are generally used to space data and align multiple lines. Might be odd
in a textbox as we generally think of this as a way of capturing/displaying
singleton items, but seems quite easy to understand why someone might want
to, even if the advice was to use some other way.

Regards

Bob

Hi Vasant, Bob,

As far as I know, there's no problem putting tab characters into an
MSForms TextBox. I'm assuming that the OP is talking about a TextBox
drawing
object on a worksheet?

Hi Bob:

I was confused because a TextBox is a control in which one (generally)
manually enters data. What would be the purpose of having a preformatted
tab
chatracter in there? But maybe I've just lived a sheltered life ... ;-)

Regards,

Vasant.

Same purpose as a tab character in a document?

Hello

Is there a way to insert a string with enclosed tab characters
into
a
textbox?
I tried with chr(9) but i don't get a tab only a placeholder for
an
unprintable character.

Thanks
