when I try to replace field with special character like chr(205) for "=", it displays 'I' and chr(179), isteand of verticle line it displays "³"

Any solution.
 

?ASC('=') && Returns 61
? CHR(61) && return "="

? CHR(179) && give a superscripted 3

That depends on the font you are using. If you replace the field with that character, fine. Now print that field to the screen using:

?MyTable.Field1 FONT 'FoxFont'

You will see the desired result.

gafidani,

Remember that in Windows you are dealing with ANSI character set, not ASCII. ASCII quasi-graphics - if that is what you are trying to use - are not available in Windows.

If it's not quasi-graphics - then I would like to know what you are using them for in order to get you intelligent advice.

Regards,

Ilya
