ASCII Character Set

[wvjim]

I need a place where I can find the translation table for the ASCII character set. I'm trying to print a report that will enclose my information in a box and the closest I can come for a vertical border is the or (|) symbol. That doesn't create a solid bar down the left of my box. Thanks in advance.

Have you considered using the Report Designer in VB? You can draw lines and boxes with that. I know there is an ASCII chart in the help files that come with VB.

What about the Windows Character Map program? Or,

For K = 0 to 254
Debug.Print K & " = " & Chr(K)
Next

or have it go to a file or ListBox instead of the Immediate Window.

According to my understanding of ASCII character sets, once you get outside the standard range of characters (the ones that appear on the keyboard), the results vary depending upon what font you're using. Just something to watch for.
