Default Line Break Character?

What is needed in a datasource to make a line break in mailmerge? I
have put ^p characters in sql server text fileds but they are just
displayed as ^p after merging.

thanks

Try either a CRLF sequence (chr(13) + chr(10)) or just a chr(13). But as
someone pointed out in here recently, you may find that things go haywire in
tables if you just use chr(13).
