Rob,
I'd guess that you aren't using the same font to display the memo field =
as you are when it's entered. The character value is probably the same, =
but the display font doesn't support the euro character for this value.

May be a code page issue.

What Codepage is the memo field?
?CPCURRENT()
?CPDBF("myTable")
or
DISPLAY STRUCTURE

You can prevent any codepage conversions, if
you make the memo a binary memo field:
create table...(mMemo M nocptrans).

I wonder though, if this is a codepage issue,
as the euro sign has become a standard ascii
sign CHR(128), which should work in any
codepage. ?!?

Bye, Olaf.

This is one of the reasons that I read through the newsgroups everyday.

I appreciate your input to these news groups.
