Bring one of the records up on the edit form, where you see the "real" character". Carefully copy just the one character. Then do a SRPL on that column. For the first value, paste in what you copied, and replace it with a normal apostrophe Karen On Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 12:38:23 PM CST, Bruce Chitiea <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Dan: Happy-at-the-limit-New-Year: I presume that the data displayed in the Parts Master - View Mode is pulled directly from its source table, and that the " ' " character is otherwise your default for encapsulating text strings within code. I've seen this sort of weird formatting show up when pulling HTML data into non-HTML text columns. The alpha-numerics display correctly, but punctuations look look like something from the Planet Zog style manual. Guessing that what's happening here is similar: a formatting mis-match resulting from a search routine which can't handle an apostrophe embedded within an expected result. I'd look to see that the search code can handle an apostrophe orphaned within a returned text string. Can you use a different character (e.g. a " - ") in its place, and see what happens?
