I have a define in my fex that changes the value of some data to "..... £". Later on I print a field and change the field title to "....£/...".

When I save and close and go back in the pound sign in the define changes to œ and the one for the field title changes to ?.

Is there a way to stop this happening and is this the only character it happens to. Am I going to have to use some fancy footwork to get around the problem?

Cheers

foz,

Go to Dev Studio and choose Windows/Options and check the "Store Data as ANSI" box. Click OK and you should be cooking.

Cheers. So that does mean it will store my code as ANSI and any subsequent data in my hold files?

Not necessarily, it depends upon what you are doing with the value of course.

One of the things I tend to do is to force the issue when it comes to currency symbol by using
-SET &Pound = HEXBYT(156);
-RUN
SET CURRENCYSYM = &Pound
or something similar (I do not have an example to hand and that is just memory.

You can also use the &Pound value anywhere in your code of course and avoid the annoying alternate symbols.
