Follow Razzak's info on finding the character value using the Character Map - be sure to select the font you'll use in the report from the drop-down first and click the Copy button to get the first one in memory. Then create a report variable (or do a one-time data update on the field itself) that replaces the old ALT key value with the new value: rRemarks = (SRPL(Remarks,'ñ','±',0)) And the way I created this report variable was to type: (SRPL(Remarks,' Then press the Alt 0241 Then type: ',' Then press Ctrl-V to paste in the symbol copied from the Character map. Then type the rest of the variable.

Jan, Try the "Character Map" option of MS Windows to find the correct symbol for the font type used in your report. Here's how: While in the Report Designer: 01. Click on Windows Start | Run | charmap 02. Click on [OK] button Notice the "Character Map" window with different fonts. 03. After selecting the appropriate font from the drop-down list, click on the symbol/character you wish to copy and then click on [Copy] button. 04. Now switch the focus [Alt+F4] back to Report Designer 05. Click on the Label control and use "paste" option [Ctrl+V] to paste that exact character/symbol there. That's all there is to it! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
