Greek characters 1

[georgp]

Hi,
I am using MS Sans Serif font for my tables and forms.
Is there any way to make the user type real single greek characters, like 'alpha', 'beta', 'gamma', 'delta' (i.e. Symbol font) as prefixes, such as in 'g(amma)'-gluboline?
Thanks for tips.

An addition to my post:
I understand that I am using ANSI code, which does not include greek symbols. But is there a possibility, e.g. with a VBA keypress event, to change this?
Thanks, georgp

Hi Georgp

I have successfully tested this:
a) I have created a table "greek" containing the greek symbols
b) On my form, I have created a listbox with table greek as row source
c) Set multiselect to NO
d) Set the font of both your listbox and your textbox to Arial
e) Put this in the DoubleClick event of the listbox:
Me!your textbox=Me!your textbox & Me!your listbox

Voià! ;-)

Andreas,
have tried it, but not with success. Here is what I did:
1. Created table 'tbl_Greek' (font in symbol) showing the greek characters.
2. Created listBox 'lst_Greek' with rowsource tbl_Greek.
3. Created VBA cbo_Mono = cbo_Mono & lst_Greek (cbo_Mono is a combobox) in the double click event of lst_Greek.

What happens:
In the the listbox the originally greek characters show up as normal characters (alpha = a, etc). When I run the code, the character is added as number, i.e. if I doubleclick 'a' the combobox adds '1'.

Where is the culprit? Any solution?
Thanks, georg
