Good Afternoon,

I am able to email info from a range in a sheet from a copy and paste point, but I would like to make the email more readable. I have looked on line, but am having a bit of trouble with this

The code below puts all the information in the email but I would like to space this out by putting a line in between each so say complaint number shows on one line then a line free and so on like :-

A Complaint has been assigned to your reference: " & Me.ComplaintNo.Value

"This is a complaint for : " & Me.ComboBox5.Value

"Please deal ASAP"

Is this possible?

Code:
With Destwb
        .SaveAs TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr, FileFormat:=FileFormatNum
        On Error Resume Next
        With OutMail
            .From = "me"
            .To = MyEmail
            .CC = ""
            .BCC = "" 
            .Subject = "Notification for your work queue."
            .Body = "A Complaint has been assigned to your reference: " & Me.ComplaintNo.Value & Chr(10) & _
              "This is a complaint for : " & Me.ComboBox5.Value & Chr(10) &  "Revenue: " & Me.ComboBox3.Value & Chr(10) &  "Please deal ASAP" & Chr(10) & _
[code/]

thanks in advance 
Gavin

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK

Does the code you posted not work?

Using Chr(10), or perhaps vbCrLf, should add line returns.

I am getting the error "Expected: Line number or label or statement or end of statement" on the line below

Code:
.Subject = "Notification of Complaint Assigned to you."
            .Body = "A Complaint has been assigned to your reference: " & Me.ComplaintNo.Value & vbCrLf
             [COLOR=#ff0000] "This is a complaint for : [/COLOR]"& Me.ComboBox5.Value  & vbCrLf
              "Revenue: " & Me.ComboBox3.Value & Chr(10) & _
              "" & Chr(10) & _ "Please deal ASAP" & Chr(10)
[code/]

But I have managed to move down a line with no issues.

Think you are missing some line continuation characters, try this.
Code:
.Body = "A Complaint has been assigned to your reference: " & Me.ComplaintNo.Value & vbCrLf & _
        "This is a complaint for : " & Me.ComboBox5.Value & vbCrLf & _
        "Revenue: " & Me.ComboBox3.Value & Chr(10) & _
        "" & Chr(10) & _
        "Please deal ASAP" & Chr(10)

thanks,
I have just entered the code below and am getting "Compile error: Expected: expression" as the code goes red

Code:
            .Body = "A Complaint has been assigned to your reference: " & Me.ComplaintNo.Value & vbCrLf & _
            "This is a complaint for : " & Me.ComboBox5.Value & vbCrLf & _
[code/]

Do I need to enter "& vbCrLf & _" at the end of each code I put in?
Can I also put the code in to create a blank line between each as per below

[code]
.Body = "A Complaint has been assigned to your reference: " & Me.ComplaintNo.Value & vbCrLf & _
        "This is a complaint for : " & Me.ComboBox5.Value & vbCrLf & _
    vbCrLf & _
    "Next Line" & vbCrLf & _
[code/]
Sorry to be a pain, but its good to learn
