Line break not displaying in report - ms-access

I created an Access 2013 report using a linked table from Sharepoint. In Sharepoint, the field is defined as "Multiple lines of text, Plain Text", in Access it comes down as "Long Text".
The field contents contains line breaks. In Access the field is "Can Grow=Yes" and "Text Format=Plain Text".
The problem is the report displays the field without the line breaks. Any ideas?
In Access I verified there are chr(10) characters but no chr(13) characters in the field. I tried replacing the chr(10) with chr(10) & chr(13) but that didn't work. It just seems to be ignoring the chr(10) character in the printed output.

I figured out a work around which is to use the 'Rich Text' report field property on the 'Plain Text' field:
Replace chr(10) with <br/> in the field on the report i.e.
=Replace([fieldname],Chr(10),"<br/>")
Change the text box 'Text Format' property from 'Plain Text' to 'Rich Text'

How to Make Double Space between one line in ssrs report

You can use the Visual Basic Carriage Return Line Feed 'vbcrlf', that will add a line break to the text box.
In this example
= "Some text" & " and some more text"
Will display as
Some text and some more text
For one line break it will be:
= "Some text" & vbcrlf & " and some more text"
Which will display as:
Some text
and some more text
Add in more 'vbcrlf' to achieve what you need in formatting the text.

SSRS expression - Line break after 3rd hyphen

I have a field that produces dates in 01-03-2022 - 07-03-2022 and want to put a line break after the 3rd hyphen so it displays like
01-03-2022 -
07-03-2022
Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
Try this...
=REPLACE(Fields!MyDatesField.Value, " - ", vbcrlf)
All we are doing is looking for the "space hyphen space" pattern and replaceing with the carriage return and line feed characters (equivalent to Chr(13) + Chr(10) as far as I remember)

How to make a specific letter of a word bold and underlined in ssrs?

I am trying to make the first letter of a word bold and underlined. But I am having a hard time doing it.
e.g.
Sample Result
Set Markup Type to HTML (Placeholder Properties, General), then create an expression.
Example:
="<b><u>" & LEFT(Fields!Header.Value, 1) & "</u></b>" & MID(Fields!Header.Value, 2, LENGTH(Fields!Header.Value)-1)
Highlight the text of the textbox. On the properties set the MarkupType to HTML
The expression on your textbox should look like the one below
="<b><u>"
& Left(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value,1)
& "</u></b>"
& Mid(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value, 2, Iif(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value Is Nothing,0,Len(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value)))
The Iif in the above expression checks for null values can be replaced with the maximum field character value.

VBA Outlook - Replace Paragraph Mark With Manual Line Break

Dear people at Stackoverflow,
I would like to replace for every incoming e-mail the paragraph marks (^p i believe, at least in outlook Find & Replace) with manual line breaks (^l).
I've not been able to find a solution trough Google, but I might be searching wrong.
I am using the following code as a rule for every incoming e-mail:
(FYI this code works just fine with text)
Sub testing(MyMail As MailItem)
MyMail.HTMLBody = Replace(MyMail.HTMLBody, "example", "changedtext")
MyMail.Save
End Sub
Now I have tried to change the 2nd line to:
MyMail.HTMLBody = Replace(MyMail.HTMLBody, "^p", "^l")
And
MyMail.HTMLBody = Replace(MyMail.HTMLBody, "chr(13)", "chr(10)")
But these did not seem to work.
Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with VBA coding.
I've just been told I need to use chr() but I don't have a clue on how to do that.
Some background information:
I am using 2 rules, 1 to change every ^p with ^l and the other rule is to convert the email from HTML to plain text.
If I just convert it without first changing the ^p with ^l it will have all these extra empty lines.
Example:
Is someone out there that is willing to help me with this?
I would really appreciate it!
Regards,
Kris
There are several ways to do it, but all with the same side-effect.
If user SHIFT + ENTER 2 times, they will result in 1 new line also
Solution 1:
'Replace 2 newline into 1 newline
'vbCrLf is actually Chr(13) & Chr(10)
mail.HTMLBody = Replace(mail.HTMLBody, vbCrLf & vbCrLf, vbCrLf)
Solution 2:
'Replace any extra newline into ""
there will be an extra blank link at the very end
tmp = Split(mail.HTMLBody, vbCrLf)
For Each Line In tmp
If Line <> "" Then
newBody = newBody & Line & vbCrLf
End If
Next
mail.HTMLBody = newBody

What does Linq replace a new line with when updating?

I have always used Replace(myString, vbCrLf, "<br/>") to show line breaks when outting something to a page from the database (retaining line breaks). I am now using a DetailsView that has a textarea as one of the fields and uses a LinqDataSource as its datasource. I want to allow users to type line breaks in the textarea and display them on a page (replaced with <br/>'s to show breaks in the HTML). Linq seems to be replacing the line breaks with something else that is now causing the Replace statement to not find the breaks, therefor not inserting the html <br/>. When loading the value from the database to a textarea the line breaks are still there though. I have tried replacing the following with <br> but none of it works.
vbCrLf
vbNewLine
Environment.NewLine
...none of those work... what do I need to find/replace with <br> to show breaks?
TextArea uses different newline characters depending on the browser:
Internet Explorer: \r\n
FireFox: \n
It has also been suggested that \r is used in some cases, although, I haven't come across those cases.
Carriage return is encoded as %0D and Line feed as %0A. So if your text is HTML encoded (as it should be), then you need to replace %0D and/or %0A [depending on your environment] with your <br />
Here is a full discussion on the topic http://www.highdots.com/forums/html/standard-newline-character-264611.html.
Look at the string as a byte array, what values are the line breaks? There are only so many options here, 10, 13, both, none?
This works great for me:
string Output = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(DirtyText); // HTML Encode it first for safety..
return Output.Replace("\n", "<br />"); // Now replace New Lines with HTML BRs
You end up with a safe encoded output, but also nicely formatted line spacing exactly as entered by the user into a standard textarea.
