Question

I have a textbox on a MS Access form that users are going to copy a column of numbers into from an excel spreadsheet. I need to take this input and use it as parameters to build a query. I have code that looks like this

Dim data as variant
Dim input as String
data = Split(input,vbLf)

I want to be able to build a list of the input from the users but I can’t figure out how to split it on the line break. I’ve tried “\n\r”, “\n”. “\r”, vbCrLf, vbLf. The input looks like “12345[][]23456” with the box characters between each number

Thanks

I got Split to work for me using vbCrLf. I also wrote the result of Split to a String array.

Here’s my code:

Dim data() As String
Dim yourInput As String
data = Split(yourInput, vbCrLf)
