Hello group, Using Mailto: protocol in a hyperlink, I'm including the email address, subject line, and body text. Is there a way to include carriage returns in the text? Here's the situation: There's a textbox on a form that contains 4 lines of text; this text block is built through code and uses the vbNewLine variable after each line. The contents of the textbox look like this on the form: Name: John Doe Business: Backroads Farrier Service Shortterm Code: 7083-603-718-5836 Request Code: F003-B863-A003 After the textbox contents are built, it sets the hyperlink property of a command button on the form, like this (watch word wrap): Me!btnEmail.HyperlinkAddress = "mailto:info at backroadsdata.coml?subject=Lifetime License Request&body=" & Me!txtRequest When the button is clicked, an email is created, and the message body section contains the text from the form, but it looks like this: Name: John DoeBusiness: Backroads Farrier ServiceShortterm Code: 7083-603-718-5836Request Code: F003-B863-A003 Is there anyway to embed something the email will recognize as a carriage return, so that it appears in the message on 4 distinct lines? (I've tried Chr(13) & Chr(10) as well as vbNewLine when building the textbox.) Thanks! Best Regards, Julie Schwalm Backroads Data www.backroadsdata.com 785-594-6807
