Hi Simon,

>>>I use the ??? command.

In that case you must use ??? STRTRAN(cString,"{","{{}"). Otherwise you get a syntax error when VFP encounters a "{" in your string. For VFP this token means that the next paert of th string is a code to interpret, eg:

??? "{9}{9}Hello World{Enter}"

is the same as

??? Chr(9)+Chr(9)+"Hello World"+Chr(13)
