New Line Character(s)

Greetings.

I've got some Perl code that's inserting data into a MySQL, which is 
later being read & displayed by MS Access. I'm constructing a note, and 
I'm using:

\n

for new lines - to break up paragraphs. However, in Access, these \n 
characters appear as little boxes instead of new lines. What should I 
use to get Access to display a new line?

I think you can use \r instead of \n for Access and Excel.

Are you sure about that?=20

I thought Windows used \r\n as a pair (or \n\r?) for the line delimiter.

But then, I don't do Windows anymore, so I could be wrong :-)
