First, even though I have the "Scrollbars" property set to 3-Both, yet when the text to be displayed in the TextBox exceeds the size of the box, no scrollbars are displayed. The text just runs off the end of the top line in the TextBox. Second, I have this line of code: txtDisplay.Text = "GetAbsolutePathName: " & _ mFileSysObj.GetAbsolutePathName( _ filFileBox.Path) & vbNewLine & _ "GetDriveName: " & mFileSysObj.GetDriveName( _ filFileBox.Path) & vbNewLine & _ "GetParentFolderName: " & _ mFileSysObj.GetParentFolderName( _ filFileBox.Path) & vbNewLine & _ "GetTempName: " & mFileSysObj.GetTempName I expect to get a CRLF for the "vbNewLine", but I get "||". Can vbNewLine be something other than CRLF? Any ideas why I see what I see? Maybe one fix will resolve both problems. I keep thinking that maybe there is someplace where vbNewLine is defined (and can be redefined). -------------------- KermitD

Set the MultiLine property of the TextBox to True.

Thanks JAY CAT,
It solves both problems. From now on, I'll look at the form-element properties a lot closer. I love this forum. KermitD -------------------- KermitD
