Copying multiline textboxes from userform to worksheet cell
 

I have a userform that contains a multiline textbox with wordwrap.
This displays correctly on the userform.

I want to copy the contents of the textbox back into a worsheet cell
as follows

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Value = frmAddIssue.TextBox2.Value

This works okay but the line breaks are displayed as 'square box'
characters in the cell - is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks in advance
Leighton

Copying multiline textboxes from userform to worksheet cell
 

ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5).Value = Application.Substitute( _
frmAddIssue.TextBox2.Value,chr(13)," ")

or if you have Excel 2000 or later, you can use the VBA replace function in
lieu of the worksheet function substitute.

Substitute will work in all versions of Excel.
