Paragrahs in textboxes

Hi,

Can anyone advise me how to force paragraph breaks in a textbox in Reporting Services 2000? I've tried Shift + Enter and in layout view it forces a paragraph break, but as soon as the report is rendered, the breaks disappear.

Thanks.

Hello Matt,

Try creating an expression of your paragraph, then when you want to add a break, add a Chr(10).

In this example, the first and second sentences will be on different lines.

="This is my first sentence." + chr(10) + "This is my second sentence."

Hope this helps.

Hi Jarret,

Perfect! Thank you very much.

Yup I found the chr(10) very helpful.

I did notice however that when viewing a report, in the report viewer before printing, that the ch(10) has no effect. All of the text runs together as one long string of text.

When I print the report all is fine with the chr(10) doing its job of providing a line break. It also looks ok in the design tool when building the report. It is just that the report viewer does not respect this .

Does anyone have a solution where by the report viewed in the report viewer does the same thing with the text as the the printed version.

Regards

Matteo

Looks like the suggestion from this post works: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=734028&SiteID=1

I've used "Environment.Newline" and it seems to work for the report viewer.
