Hi,
Try CHR(150) or CHR(151)
By the way, you can find this out easily.. in the following way...
Create a myChr.PRG
FOR I=1 to 255
? i, CHR(i)
wait
ENDFOR

and in the command window give the command DO myChr
You can identify the number you want !

To know the difference between CHR 150 & 151 ...
in the command window, issue the command...
? REPLICATE(CHR(150),50)
? REPLICATE(CHR(151),50)

Hope this helps you

Just to clarify CHR() really does return the same character in all versions of FP / VFP, it's just that depending on the current font, it may look different <g>.

In FPW, MS supplied FOXFONT.FON for &quot;duplicating&quot; the DOS character set on screens, and FOXPRINT.TTF printing it.

The MS supplied TERMINAL.FON also uses the standard &quot;IBM DOS&quot; character set. There are others available on on the web - you just have to look for (and sometimes pay for) them.
