Hi, I am having a problem with the commands cd or chdir as follows:

I define a variable for the directory I want to go to as
inputDir = "C:\Program Files\Quote.com\QCharts\Symbols\"

but neither of the following will go to this directory

chdir &inputDir
chdir inputDir

however, this does work

cd "C:\Program Files\Quote.com\QCharts\Symbols\"

Help??
