CRLF in TextBox ControlSource Expression

J

Jay

Without using VBA, can a textbox's controlsource expression contain a CRLF
that forces multiple lines to be displayed in the textbox? If so, how?

For example, the following controlsource expression produces two graphical
rectangles between [InvNum] and "Page 1 of 2" instead of physically producing
the desired two lines of text in the textbox:

=[InvNum] & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "Page 1 of 2")

Chr(13) must come first.

="Bingo!" & chr(13) & chr(10) & "Thanks a bunch, Rick" & chr(13) & chr(10) &
"Jay"
