no it will not work with a variable
this is what I see from this
Text1.Text = mystr & vbCrLf & mystr & vbCrLf
88"88 88/88||88:88 88/88||
but when i copy and paste I get below it pastes with cr lf
This is really odd

88:88 88/88
88:88 88/88

The double lines are thicker I do not see them on my ansi chart
