I guess it has something to do with fonts or so, but who am I
Change your font. I use Courrier Western script and I get the Euro symbol. Have you tried changing font?
Is it possible to assign the alt+128 combination to the €
Not if the font you are using doesn't have the symbol.

The font has the symbol, but it's assigned to ctr+alt+e
But still if I print the Ç (alt+128) symbol comes on the paper
Trying changing the character mapping for the Euro symbol. You woudl do that through Windows. Mike Gagnon

It depends on which version of Windows you are using but here where to find it on WindowsXP Pro:
Using Character MapYou can use Character Map to copy and paste special characters into your documents, such as the trademark symbol, special mathematical characters, or a character from the character set of another language.
Open Character Map.
Notes
To open Character Map, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Character Map.

HI yellowke,
In the keyboard, if you press
ALT+0128 (Hold down Alt and enter ZERO,ONE,TWO,EIGHT)
and release the keyboard you will get € symbal.
If your users dont know to use that, you can cut and paste that as your string..
****************
FUNCTION myEuro
myEuro = "€"
****************
You can even cut and paste this in your programme.
Then suitably code it in your programme ..
ON KEY label F12 DO myEuro
Hope this solves your problem.

In charactermap I can see the € symbol, but it is assigned to alt+ctr+e. I want it to be assigned to alt+128 as it should be.
You cannot chnage the existing mapping in a font, you would have to create a Private Character.
Using Private Character EditorYou can use Private Character Editor to create unique letters and logos for your font library.
Open Private Character Editor.
Notes
To open Private Character Editor, click Start, and then click Run. In the Open box, type eudcedit.
For information about using Private Character Editor, click the Help menu in Private Character Editor.

Just a note, MS offered updated fonts that included the Euro character for the older OSs. XP comes with it in many of the standard fonts. Go to
