Hi i am a VB newbie and need help in this : How do i display more than 1 line of text using a single variable? i.e 'Dialog display dialogmsg = "Programmed by xx"
and i want a second line like "Ver 1.0a" without declaring another variable like dialogmsg2.

Maybe if I had expressed it this way it would have made more sense:
dialogmsg="Programmed by xx" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Ver 1.0a"
The vbCrLf inserts a carriage return and line feed at the end of "Programmed by xx", causing the following text to be displayed on the line following the line feed. In the above text you would have 2 blank lines between your two desired lines of text. To have just one blank line, remove one of the vbCrLf code.
Hope this helps.
Happy New Years!

hey this should work for vb5, and vb6.
String = "first" + vbcrlf + "second"
and when this gets displayed in a multi-line text box it looks like this.
