    txtTitleBarCode.Text = strTitle + "\r\n" + strMetaKeywords.

    Make sure its a multline textbox aswell.

    Tried that but it just prints out \r\n in the text box and it is set as multi line!

    I think this is what you want

    I think that Mutant_Fruit is thinking of Java!!! :)

    The syntax is 
    			 				txtTitleBarCode.Text = txtTitle & vbNewLine & txtMetaKeyWords

    You could also replace vbNewLine with vbCrLf, but it would do the exact same thing

    Note that in Visual Basic for joining strings you should use & instead of +. Even though it will work with +, and many people use the + out of habit because that is the proper syntax in Java, C# and C++, but in Visual Basic it is the &

    txtTitleBarCode.Text = strTitle & VbCrLf & strMetaKeywords

    Test it by echoing in a MsgBox first
