is there a way to start a new line in the dialog text?

If you treat the message box text as a string variable then you can concatenate a ControlChars.NewLine command to the end of the string.


========
Dim strResults As String
Dim strName As String


strResult = "Hello " & strName & ControlChars.NewLine
strResult &="How are you?"

MessageBox.Show(strResult, "Message Box Title")
========


The &= is a string concatenator which appends the second line of text to the end of the first line and line break.

Hope this helps.

Sure .. insert a newline character ... vbCrLf I think is the constant Chr(13) & Chr(10) ... good luck.
