Why do I get a character graphic (rectangle) in a report where I put a
return for a carriage return instead of the carriage return action? Most of
my reports act correctly and generate the return. Some reports that I am
updating have acquired this bad behavior. The carriage returns are using
Times Roman font and are located in a column of a table layout. I use the
build wizard to create the expression. The expression is as follows:

= [ProjectDescription] & "
" & [Phases] & ", (" & [JobRole] & ")" & "
" & [ClientReference] & "
" & [ReferencePhone]

The report now inserts a character rectangle at the end of each line and
concatenates all the field to one wrapped line of text.
 
You need a Cr and Lf
= [ProjectDescription] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Phases] & ", (" & [JobRole] &
")" & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [ClientReference] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) &
[ReferencePhone]
