[FX.php List] Sending carriage returns within a string into FM field

[Bob Patin]

You're right, that is the solution to the problem; someone else already pointed it out. It hadn't occurred to me to try double rather than single-quotes, and I knew I'd used \r\n in the past... was really puzzling.

Thanks for joining in though, this forum saved me a lot of head-scratching and searching through past projects.

Best,
