Carriage Return in Data

I am inserting data into a field that is setup as the datatype ntext and
would like to place carriage returns in the text to format the data.
For example:
This is<new line>my data. (Where <new line> is the code for a new line.)
Would display as:
This is
my data.
I tried using VBCrLf and Chr(13) & Chr(10), but neither worked.
Thanks,
MikeYou can add them outside if you wish:
insert <tablename> values ('Here is some text' + char(13) + char(10) + 'and
some additional text on a second line')

I have tried using Chr(13) & Chr(10), but it doesn't work. When outputing it
all appears on the same line.
Thanks,
Mike|||When outputting it where? I ran this in query analyzer.
========================================
CREATE TABLE Frog (col1 ntext)
GO
INSERT Frog VALUES ('Line 1' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'Line 2' + CHAR(13) +
CHAR(10) + 'Line 3')
GO
SELECT col1 FROM Frog
col1
----
---Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
(1 row(s) affected)|||Can you post a repro? Below work just fine in my query analyzer:
SELECT 'Hello ' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'there!'

I was outputting it to a web page, which apparently ignores char 13 & 10...
I used a replace to replace the char 13 & 10 with a <br> and its working. (I
couldn't put the <br> in the data because the webpage isn't the only
application accessing the data.)
Thanks for your help!
Mike
