Default Paragraph break in a message box

I'm writing detailed instructions into a front end, to essentially idiot
proof the database for data entry people. In that I'd like to know how to
put a paragraph break into a message box text. Is there way to do this?

No such thing as a paragraph break in Access. The closest you can get is
starting a new line:

MsgBox "Some text here for the first line " & vbNewLine & "More text for the
next line"

If by Paragraph Break you mean a line space or two, then yes.

MsgBox "This is line one." & vbNewLine & vbNewLine & "This is line 2."
