Need to add a carriage return

H

I have a form where I have an entry screen with 2 fields that will contain a
paragraph worth of information. On the output screen which is read-only I
would like to have one field where I concatenate field1 and field 2.
Normally not an issue for me, but on this I need to separate the fields with
a carriage return, not just a space. Any help in doing this would be greatly
appreciated.

Can't you just use concat(field1, " ", field2) in the rule you use to
concatenate the fields?

Yes normally I would and move on, but that will only place a single space in
between the two fields and I need a carriage return. For example it should
read:

Field 1, blah blah blah blah, blah.....and so on.

Field 2, blah, blah, blah...and so on.

Ah - hmm... so you did say. I apologize for mis-reading the desire for
a carriage return.

That's a good question. Here's one answer I found

Don't stop at the top of the page where they are discussing writing
code - look at the last suggestion of creating an xml document and
then opening a data connection to read that document. Cute!
