Hi Tracy,

This looks great. I have another question.
Is there a way to get vfp7 to print those characters, in a given font, whose character map puts them above chr(255) or do I just have to pick the correct font that puts the characters that I want below chr(255).

For example: Arial is far more common a font than Terminal. Both Arial and Terminal have several bracketing characters. However, the Arial bracket characters are very high up in the character map and I can't seem to putput them in vfp7 via a chr(nnn) scheme. I also want to output to a web page and fear that not all of my user's browsers will have font Terminal installed. Most of my users will have font Arial installed.

Any thoughts?
