I am trying to use the chr(219) from an ascii table to put a filled box character into my report. I cant save that character into a table and when I try to print the chr(219) I get some awfull character instead.

Risoam,
Check your config.sys or config.nt file to be sure the ansi.sys is present. If it isn't there add:
device=C:\WINNT\system32\ansi.sys
or whatever your path is to ansi.sys
