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.
