transfer text from label to textbox preserving linebreaks

(vb6) I want to write the text which appears in a label to a textbox while keeping linebreaks.

The label caption is written using -

[text] & vbnewline & [text] & vbnewline & [text]

but

textbox1 = label1

gives me the text seperated by "|" all on one line
(even though the textbox is set multiline at design time).

Interestingly

msgbox label1

displays the text with linebreaks correctly.

Any ideas. Something so simple is baffling me!!
