Let me try to say this again without screwing it up. If the textbox multiline
is set to true the textbox will accept (display) CRLF. If it is set to false
it will ignore CRLF.

Incidentally, in more recent versions of textbox, if you set the multiline
property to true you can load the textbox at design time with many lines of
words. It works similar to the Listbox list property. You get a drop-down
list where you can enter data. Instead of hitting enter, hit ctrl-enter to
skip to the next line.

I wouldn't so much as say it "ignores" CR and LF so much as it doesn't do
what you would expect it to do, i.e., display subsequent text on a new line.
Instead it treats CR and LF as characters and generally displays them with
the "missing character" symbol, most often a box. Not exactly what I would
call "ignore."

Not VB 6.0 SP 6 running on Windows XP SP 3. The textbox control simply
ignores CRLF and writes the following text immediately after the existing text
with no spaces or other characters.

Interesting. I KNOW I've seen this behavior before. Now I have to wonder
where....
