Use this code to generate all the ASCII characters, and find the symbols you need from the list it generates:

Dim a As Long

For a = 0 To 255
Debug.Print a & vbTab & Chr$(a)
Next a

Note that the "character set" displayed by MikCox's routine will reflect only the characters of the current Font. To do a more complete set of the possabilities, you would need to also iterate through the available fonts.

To further complicate the issue, regardless of the font character stored in the data base, you would need to set the display object to the (desired) font, otherwise you will just display the character of the default font. More anoying still is the limitation on MOST MS controls which limit the font displayed to a single font (character set).
