I would suggest this
IF String # Oconv(String,"MCP") then End This will quite quickly tell you *whether* any given string has a non-printable char in it. It is the fastest known method to give you this Boolean result. Then use the INDEX function to return the absolute location of any "." (period) in the string. If there was not a period at that same location in the original string, then that char is invalid.
