That is the typical symptom of having your database IDQUOTES
setting defined as NULL.

At the R> prompt, SHOW CHAR will reveal the current setting
for IDQUOTES.

You will need to fix the IDQUOTES settings to `, that is the
single reversed quote "`" underneath the tilde "~" on your
keyboard.

Here's how:

01. CONNECT dbname

02. At the R> prompt:

     SET IDQUOTES=`

03. SHOW CHAR

     Confirm the setting for IDQUOTES

04. Now try to UNLOAD the same form using Database Explorer
     and see what you get.

That's all there is to it!

Very Best R:egards,

Razzak.
