[AccessD] How to Embed Line Feeds in a Single Field that Appears on a Report

[Kaup, Chester]

Or maybe you could combine the data in the text box on the report. Something like this

Try setting the ControlSource of the TextBox to:
= ([Field1] + Chr(13) + Chr(10)) & 
  ([Field2] + Chr(13) + Chr(10)) & 
  ([Field3] + Chr(13) + Chr(10))

 BTW,  you can also do:

 Alt+013 (013 is on the numeric keypad), followed by Alt+010 

 Alt/Enter is a shortcut to get a carriage return/line feed pair of characters.

 When you add the data, you have to do it like this:

 "Line1" & chr$(13) & chr$(10) & "Line2" & ...And so on.

 You need to do this in code as you can't type it in that way directly.

 If your typing into the field directly, you can use Alt/Enter

For testing, I built a small Access application with one table.

In this table, I added three fields;
Short text
Long Text (Plain Text format)
Long Text (Rich Text format)

I then added this data to each of the three fields in the table

Line1 Chr$(13)  Chr$(10) Line2

I then built a small report to display these three fields.

Here is what I see on the report for each of the three fields -

Line1 Chr$(13)  Chr$(10) Line2


I was hoping to see this

Line1
Line2

If vbCrLf doesn't work (it only works in VBA, not in queries), use Chr$(13) & Chr$(10) in its place.
