Hi Glenn,

I know about the character map utility. That's how I found the "arrowhead" symbols in the "Arial" font. I noticed that some of the extended characters can be accessed with ALT+codes. For example, notice how the character map utility says "Keystroke Alt+0178" in the bottom right of its status bar for the "squared" symbol (^2). In my button caption I can put = CHR(178) and get the "squared" text.

My problem is that the "Black Up pointing triangle" does not seem to be capable of doing this. There is no Keystroke instruction. What are they and all the other symbols in there for if you can't use them?

Mike
