>I have received a data file, exported from a Lotus Notes Table in tabular format. One field contains multiple values separated by what appears to be a null character. That is, it appears as a square box in common fonts and evaluates to zero in a ASC(SUBSTR(string,position,1)) function.

First of all, you may want to use a hex editor (like the one included with Visual FoxPro) to see the file at a "low level".
StrTran() seems appropriate to me.
Once you find the actual value of the character, you may try some combination of: at(), string concatenation (+), stuff(), and perhaps a few others more.
