CTRL

[DrStephen]

We have an Access application that automatically converts a report into a Word document (and subsequently distributes the doc via e-mail).

We just experienced a problem. In the original Access report, a user entered the character string 'CTRL' (or maybe 'ctrl')as someone's initials. The Access report looks fine, but the Word document produced from that report is truncated at the point the 'CTRL' is encoutered.

Word must be interpreting the 'CTRL' as control; How do I stop it from doing that?

Thanks.

You don't. Pretty sure it will break there no matter what.
(Have a look at Reserved Words in help to avoid even more mayhem).
