Access Memo field to Excel with Line Feeds

[ejstefl]

All,

I am using Access to automate Excel. I have a memo field in Access that contains Line Feeds (Ascii character 10). I am using the following command to enter the text into the cell:

wks.cells(iRow, iCol) = strData

However, I get an error when I do this. I believe this is because I have Line Feeds in the strData variable. When I replace them with Carriage Returns, the code works, but the text in Excel has boxes. I would like to retain the line feeds in Excel, similar to what would happen if I copy the text, go into Excel, hit F2, and Paste.

Can anyone help?

Hi ejstefl

but the text in Excel has boxes

Please check the format in that cell where you see the "boxes". It should have in the Alignment the Wrap Text option checked.

Hope this helps

Hello,

When I select wrap text, I still see the boxes.

What I'd ideally like is to maintain the LF characters instead of switching them to CR. Any other ideas?
