Hi

i am inserting an address from outlook into excel by selecting the
chossen address through a combobox.

The address is all in one cell and has a box after each line.

How do i get rid of the boxes?

Thanks for any help in advance.

this is really an Excel question not Outlook. Select the box, copy, and do a
find and replace, replacing the box with nothing.

When the strings are concatenated into an Excel Cell using vbcrlf then the
strings do go into different lines but there appears a box at the end of the
lines. Use vblf instead.

Experiment by using the Immediate window to do the following

Cells(1,1).value = "a" & vbcrlf & "b"
Cells(1,1).value = "a" & vblf & "b"

This might be the issue when you are moving the data into Excel.
