Message box question

Hi! I would like to know if there is a way to 1) center your message in a message box 2) move down a line in the box (have part of the message on the first line, and a second part on the next) Thanks, any help would be breatly appreciated! Erin
- I do not believe that there are any settings to center the text in your message box. 2) You can add a newline character to your message to make the message skip to the next line. The newline is the chr(10) command. You can also add chr(9) in order to do a tab sequence.

In your string add CHR$(13) where you want the line to break. "line 1"+CHR$(13)+"line 2" There may be a newer syntax these days. As for centering, do you want each line centered or the overall message. If it is just the message, I believe centering is automatic. Don't know how to center each line.

Just for your information, the message box and other window controls that display text ignore the carraige return, and since you need to type this in VB to get a carraige return: & chr(13) & I suggest to not use it at all. You do need a carraige return when you are dealing with files though.
