Combine / Concatenate text and include a carraige return
In my Access report I would like the fields: address, town, county, postcode
to be combined but put on separate lines. I don't want to use separate unbound boxes for them as sometimes address is a different number of lines or town or county is blank and I don't want blank lines. Is there a syntax for carriage return so I can use something like [address] & CR & [town] & CR & [county] & " " & [postcoe] where CR is the carriage return symbol. I've trawled help but can't find it.

I've trawled help but can't find it. instead of CR use vbCrLf. So your unbound textbox's control source would be [address] & vbCrLf & [town] & ", " & vbCrLf & [county] & " " & [postcode] -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com

I've trawled help but can't find it. In Access the chr(13) & chr(10) combination (in that order) will give you a carriage return and line space. In the control source of an unbound control, write: = [address] & chr(13) & chr(10) & [town] & chr(13) & chr(10) & [county] & " " & [postcoe] In VBA you can use the above chr(13) & chr(10) combination or the VBA contstants: vbCrLf or vbNewLine =[address] & vbNewLine & [town] etc.... -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup.

You can't use vb constants in a control source or query expression. You can use
=[Field A] & chr(13) & chr(10) & [Field B] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Field C] -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "PieterLinden via AccessMonster.com" wrote: ruperthouse wrote: In my Access report I would like the fields: address, town, county, postcode to be combined but put on separate lines.
