You should add a br:

textMsg = Body.text & "<BR/>" & _ q1.text & "<BR/>" & _ q2.text & "<BR/>" & _ q3.text & "<BR/>" & _ q4.text

Or you can try: Str & VBNewLine OR Str & VBCrLf

Or set the email message to html. The the
will work.

Since you tagged this asp.net, I'll guess that this newline should appear in a web page. In that case, you need to remember that you are creating html rather than plain text, and html ignores all whitespace... including newlines. If you view the source for your page, you'll likely see that the new lines do make it to your html output, but they are ignored, and that's what is supposed to happen. If you want to show a new line in html, use a <br> element:

textMsg = Body.text & "<br>" & _ q1.text & "<br>" & _ q2.text & "<br>" & _ q3.text & "<br>" & _ q4.text

The code above will place the text on several lines. It's interesting that if you view the source now, you'll see that everything is all on the same line, even though it uses several lines for display.
