Append newline characters (Environment.NewLine or vbCrLf) to the body text where you want the new line to appear (you can build the body using string concatenation).

Thanks,

Hi, If you're using objMailMessage.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html , then you can use a string of "
" as a line break. Regards,

I tried this as: objMail.Body = fname & Environment.NewLine & lname & Environment.NewLine & address & Environment.NewLine & state & Environment.NewLine & zipcode and using System.Environment.Newline, but I keep getting this error: Object required: 'System' or Object required: 'Environment' What do I have to declare earlier to make this work?

Do yiuy have System.dll referenced when you compile the app (what you are using? VS.NEt?Web Matrix? Command line?)

I'm using an ASP file written by someone else. This is a Web page, so I don't think it's really "compiled" from what little I know of ASP pages. If I'm wrong, where would I check? Thanks for your help. -Frances

That inserts a space, but doesn't add a newline. -Frances

I'm editing some other developer's code (someone from another company), and as you can probably tell, I don't know much about ASP or VB. Does this answer your question? Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
