RE: newlines in ASP

thank-you doug!
  yes vbCRLF and vbTAB both work. and after reviewing my code, i had been 
using Chr(13) and Chr(10) in reverse order, which explains the two returns. 
btw, what other vb constants exist that might come in handy? sadly enough, i 
was unaware that any existed at all! thanx again to all who replied. -
