Hi, It's been a long time sense I have done anything with vb.net. However, I remember that there is something special to do for new lines. Strictly going from memory the quoted string should look something like this: "Now that the world is through with me." & ControlChars.newline & "I'm waking up, I can not see," & ControlChars.newline & "That there is not much left of me." & ControlChars.newline & "Nothing is real but pain now." > All that's left is to "hold your breath and wish it works." *grin* > Seriously though, I hope this helps. Like I said, it's been a while. > BlueScale On Fri, 2008-09-05 at 23:20 -0700, inthane2 wrote: > I think all you need to do is add a line break at each point you want to > make the "next line" > > HTH, > inthane > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Buddy W." <wurmlord@xxxxxxxxxxx> > To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Friday, September 05, 2008 3:37 PM > Subject: VB.NET separate lines? > > > > Hello, > > > > I am just starting my studies in VB.NET and have a question.
