You'll need to pre-process your variable:

If Left(comp_name,1) = vbCr _
Or Left(comp_name,1) = vbLf Then
comp_name = Mid(comp_name,2)
End If
If Left(comp_name,1) = vbCr _
Or Left(comp_name,1) = vbLf Then
comp_name = Mid(comp_name,2)
End If
If Right(comp_name,1) = vbCr _
Or Right(comp_name,1) = vbLf Then
comp_name = Mid(comp_name,1,Len(comp_name - 1))
End If
If Right(comp_name,1) = vbCr _
Or Right(comp_name,1) = vbLf Then
comp_name = Mid(comp_name,1,Len(comp_name - 1))
End If
