I need to replace whatever vba uses for newlines (when you press alt+enter in a cell) in a string to "%0A", how can this be done best?

I tried this but it did not work:
VBA Code:
 desc = Replace(desc, vbNewLine, "%0A")

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Try
VBA Code:
desc = Replace(desc, chr(10), "%0A")

That worked, thank you.

Is there a list of the chr numbers? I also need to replace some symbols (the bullet point from outlook) but cannot see a chr number for it.
