Soft Return and Mail Merging

rbuser

Is there a character that can be included in a database field so that a soft
return will be generated when the field is merged into a RichTextMemo?
Using #10#13 forces a new paragraph.

I wish to create something like the following with a database field:

Mike Simons
123 Street Name
Anywhere, NY 99999

The best I've been able to create using the #10#13 looks like the following
when generated:

Mike Simons

123 Street Name

Anywhere, NY 99999



Thanks,

You need to say #13#10, not #10#13. Test it on a Delphi TRichEdit on a
TForm:

RichEdit1.Lines.Add('Hello World.' + #13#10 + 'I am Zoltan.' + #13#10 +
'Take me to your leader.');

Versus:

RichEdit1.Lines.Add('Hello World.' + #10#13 + 'I am Zoltan.' + #10#13 +
'Take me to your leader.');

Excellent, it works as you say. I was not aware the order of those made a
difference. I guess you learn something new every day. Thanks Jim.

No problem, I didn't know it worked this way either. I just had a hunch
that it could be the order causing the problem, so I created a test project
and coded it both ways to find out. I learned something new too.
