do you mean paragraph breaks? (as infopath calls them)

I know how to get paragraph breaks into a concat function however expression boxes ignore paragraph breaks :(

It does work on text boxes though

How so?

Ok, I bodged my own way to get paragraph breaks into a concat function. Most of my forms link into a database. So I created a table with 1 field called paragraph break. I then added one record and copied and pasted the paragraph break symbol (a little square) into it.

I then used that table to make a secondary data connection, then referenced that field when ever I want a paragraph break.

I have read an alternative about putting all the unusal symbols in a xml file, then including the xml file as a resource file, which sounds like a more tidy approach and having a database is not required

I still like my approach coz i made it up myself :)

Yes, I meant paragraph breaks. May I ask how to do it, even if it is an expression box.

Thank you

Line Feed in in concat function/expression box

I am trying to place line feeds into a concat function that fills an expression box (e.g. concat("First Name: ",FName,Line Feed,"Last Name: ",LName) ).

Does any one know if this is supported, and if so, what code to use (ASCII,html, etc)?

Thank you,
