This way you dont have to store the chr(163) in your table only a logic. Doubtfull if the guy after this will be happy when he sees that coding. But it should work. Try the first solution first.

> Hi Koen,

> First of all, I want to say "Thanks" to you for your encouragement and all. I will keep thinking why the table itself won't accept the "superscript 3" character. Most of our tables work just fine but some are not. What could it cause this "³" to change to this "3" in the table? I already tried with font Tahoma but still though, the font stored this "3" in the table anyway and instead of this "³".
I am greatly puzzled about this.
If I could fix the table somehow then no matter what font I use, everything should work and it's done. The table I want to insert the "Greater than or Equal to" sign is having an conflict somehow you know.
Again puzzled, this is the 1st time I hear something like that maybe your table is indeed completely messed up, so retry with a new fresh table and if that works get rid of the old broken one
I got the "Less than or Equal to" sign worked just fine because it stored the "pound" sign in the table fine (this is a pound sign "£" ). I don't know what to do than to think harder and harder. Also in hoping God will send an angel to me, maybe you're my angel, hehehe. I know how it feels when I'm almost there.

Tai,

You are definitely on the wrong (thinking) line.
read also my remarks in your message
A table can contain any kind of character you like. What you see is not the content of a table but a converted integer to an image. This image resembles a character or even a smaal picture if you like. The logic and code to convert the integer to an image is done in the Font file.
Now this definitely very very quickly told, but I believe basicly correct.
If you change the font in your display logic you will get an other picture.
So if you see a British Pound sign in your field where you have inserted chr(163) you have not assigned the font Symbol to that field, but an other.
Now if you understand that and you can see your famous Greater e.s.o. sign on your screen in your textbox whatever, than go to your report select that particular text box again and assign the Symbol font to that box (you know how to do that?) Now run your report and tell me the result. If still not statisfied I request you to zip me:
a. your table with no more than 3 rows and b. your report
This MUST and SHALL be solved!


regards,

Koen

P.S. how did my example programm work out on yoyr screen?
