Jim-

 

You're putting this in the Control Source, right?

 

When I go to the Immediate Window and type:

 

?"Absence Database " & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "1) FinalTermsAndTransfersOut-ALL" & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "2) tblPollyDepartments" & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "3) qry_33NewHiresFinal " & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "4) Something else"

 

.. and press Enter, I get:

 

Absence Database  

1) FinalTermsAndTransfersOut-ALL 

2) tblPollyDepartments 

3) qry_33NewHiresFinal  

4) Something else

John,

 

Thank You.  I now am seeing the exact expression with the chr$(13)....... It is not in the multiline format. Is there something I did wrong? It is a text box with rich text set up.

Don't put brackets around CHR$ - Access will think that's a field or control name.  Try this:

 

="Absence Database " & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "1) FinalTermsAndTransfersOut-ALL" & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "2) tblPollyDepartments" & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "3) qry_33NewHiresFinal " & " " & Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) & "4)

Hel! lo all,

 

I was wondering how to make a text box with multi lines. I tried to use " & [Chr$](13) & [Chr$](10) & "1), but I am getting #Name? error. 

 

for example I am trying to put on a form a list of objects for reference to the users. 

 

="Absence Database " & " " & [Chr$](13) & [Chr$](10) & "1) FinalTermsAndTransfersOut-ALL" & " " & [Chr$](13) & [Chr$](10) & "2) tblPollyDepartments" & " " & [Chr$](13) & [Chr$](10) & "3) qry_33NewHiresFinal " & " " & [Chr$](13) & [Chr$](10) & "4) 

 

 

Thank You for your help

 

Jim Wagner
