Euro € currency symbol in pdox4.5

rodmc,
You say whether you're using the Paradox for DOS, v4.5 or Paradox for Windows, v4.5.
If the former, the short answer is: you can't...unless you're willing to dig into some pretty hairy printer setup strings. You'd need to ensure that a printer font was downloaded to the print and know the specific setup strings needed to select that font, print the characters, and restore the configuration for the rest of your report. Paradox/DOS simply predates the euro symbol and has not been updated to support it.
If the latter, then your best best is to use a True Type font and to change the font of your text objects accordingly. This is actually one thing that Windows makes vaguely easier.
hope this helps...
