Welcome to this great forum, Shaded!

There are several keycodes and codewords to do this, they all do some combination of Line Feed and Carriage Return. Those words actually date from pre-computer time, they used mechanical typewriters where there were separate mechanical functions used to do this. First they pulled a handle to feed the paper by one line, then they pulled the writer carriage back to return to beginning of line. These functions later evolved by mechanical automation, and the Return key was introduced to the standard keyboard layout. Today printers more or less still operate like this, only they are controlled digitally. How the time flies

Finally to the coding, I choose the keyword vbNewLine:

label159.text = label159.text & vbNewLine & "My text"

to .net way would be to use ControlChars.NewLine:

label159.Text &= ControlChars.NewLine & "My text"

also in .net you can use the &=, +=, -=, *= and /= operators, so you can use:

Label.Text &= "New"

instead of

Label.Text = Label.Text & "New"
